shittygsxr Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Pizza delivery faces most of those too...and gets shit wages. Being a mailman isn't rocket surgery or a skilled trade.They're overpaid, because anyone can do it.Not all jobs pay well because they're a pain in the ass. Septic tank cleaners and auto salvage monkeys would make big bucks if that was the case. Most times a job is worth what someone else will take your job for, and no more. In the case of postal workers, they have an artificial pay structure based on union and civil service entry, and it does not adequately reflect the value of their employees.Jesus Christ that is the most intelligent thing I have ever read!! I have debated this topic with many mouthbreaters with little success. If someone can, is willing and able to do your job for less money then you are overpaid.

JackFlash Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) In your words...The post office is an overpaid union drain that gushes money and gives crap snail mail service, and doesn't take a credit card that isn't signed on the back.They piss money away on stupidity, idiotic and ever-changing regulations, needless gimmicks and wasteful services....and this is on top of the unworkable pension and benefit structure. They're wasteful.The USPS is burdened by the cost of their employees. They have an artificial pay structure based on union and civil service entry, and it does not adequately reflect the value of their employees.Clerks are overpaid. Mail carriers are glorified paper boys. They're overpaid, over-pensioned, and over-benefitted for the work they do. The Retirement packages are a bit ridiculous. Hmmm......let's just chuck it all. Stop using them. Try to get something delivered to California within 3 days by another company for 46¢.Your car payment to California? That's zone six, sir. That will be $4.95 and get there Wednesday unless you want to upgrade to overnite for $9.27.Credit Card payment to Delaware? Zone 1 from Zone 2. That will be $2.47.Electric bill to North Carolina? $5.85. Yes sir, there is a fuel surcharge added to that one at this time.Think about not having it when you need it. Nobody is going to do it cheaper, better, or as quickly, unless we totally eliminate all paper mailings and do it electronically. Businesses want their ads in your hands. The AMA welcome packet I just got came by mail. Some of what they sent me could not have been delivered by computer.It's cheap for what we get. Try other services and compare the costs.The USPS is a not for profit enterprise. Use a for profit company with stock holders to please for all your mailing needs and see what a years worth of service costs you. WASHINGTON — The Postal Service ranks as the fourth most trusted company — a two-point increase from 2011 and its highest company ranking since the survey’s inception by the premier privacy trust study in America. The same survey also named The Postal Service the ‘Most Trusted Government Agency for the 7th year in a row”* The Ponemon Institute in its Most Trusted Companies for Privacy Study ranked the Postal Service as the fourth most trusted company of 704 entries from 25 industry sectors.
