Bad Mouth

While I was on the phone and I just stopped to just say hi as I'm walking by and my manager chewed me out for even talking to the person. They don't care about us. And they throw us under the bus all the time because if I don't deliver a package because they never made it to me and it says delivered, the customer will come and complain at the post office.

Management will tell them, oh, I'll talk to the carrier. That carrier made a mistake. And it's no. Carriers do make mistakes, but like this intentional degradation of service to make the numbers that blame always goes on the letter carrier. And it is I we love our job. We love our jobs. We love our communities. We I got like I might start crying if I talk about this too much.

Like I love bringing treats to dogs. Like, I get Christmas cards from old folk on my route. Like, I know when people's birthdays are. And I had an old timer on my route, sat outside to say hi to me every day. Suddenly, he wasn't. And his wife was out in the garden. And I said, where is he? Oh, he passed last night. And she starts crying, and I start crying.

And, like, I get in trouble for taking five minutes to give her a hug and talk things through for a second. Like, it's...

Yeah, so you have DeJoy. He's doing that. And we have all of these. They're starting to – some of the stuff they're building, I think they're called SDNCs. It's basically they take a bunch of post offices from a metro area, and then they make one big distribution hub like Amazon. Well, that is adding an hour commute onto some of these letter carriers.

They come in, they get to their mail truck, and then they have to drive their mail truck for an hour to even start delivering. Right. It's a huge mess and it's a huge fiasco and it feels very intentional because what's going to happen when they close those facilities built by the government down and it starts to privatize? Well, what do you know?

Amazon just got a new hub or whoever ends up trying to step in. That's a little conspiracy brain, but like certain fiascos done by DeJoy's Delivering for America plan seem tailor made to to fail for the post office, but work for someone else.

And then also you have Brian Renfro, who is the current president of the NALC, the one who was telling us that our tentative agreement was going to be historic when all it does is help management. He has gone on speaking tours lying about this tentative agreement, and everything he says sounds like management gave him a script.
