It is so full of un-business like practices it is not funny. Laws are made, that apply ONLY to the Post Office. Money is only generated BY THE POST OFFICE for the POST OFFICE. No government monies or programs fund it. When will everyone learn that, including congressional representatives? It works, just walk away and leave it alone.

Managers are micromanaged daily and are given very little ability to make meaningful decsions. They are provided unrealistic budgets without any input. They must deal with powerful unions.

Training them to learn the scheme and any other jobs such as bulk mail technician or business reply mail is a joke. They are only good on the window and giving out mail. So the bottom line is upper management is pushing us to privitazation.
