Post Office Promotes Hostility and Violence

April 9, 2008 - PRLog -- I retired from the Post Office in Baltimore Md. in November of 2007. I worked there 22 years and was a Supervisor of clerks and mail carriers for 20 years.

The Post Office’s Management style never changed in 22 years. When I started working at the Post Office it was in the middle of some of the most horrific massacres and violence in Postal and Corporate history. The term “Going Postal ” was coined during this period. Why does the Post Office feel that like war, casualties are a part of doing Post Office Business and although unfortunate, necessary to complete our mission.

Is this insanity at the helm of our Postal ship or a well thought out reasonable approach to keeping the Post Office in the black? I say insanity. We are talking about mail. Bills,checks,advertisements,magazines and parcels. How and when did these 5 postal services become more important then human life.

The Post Office in Baltimore daily manages through fear and intimidation. Upper Manager’s reward supervisor’s and unit Manager’s who give out the most discipline and incur the most grievances from angry, fed-up employees. Much of the time so few employees want the thankless job of supervisor that many get promoted who were difficult and unreliable as craft employees. These people have no Management skills and are put in charge of dozens of people. They buy into stressing out the employees to get maximum results, which is achieving numerical goals that allows upper management to get large yearly bonuses and bragging rights as a top District.

This has to change. People are too vital to the Post Office to be regarded as casualties of war when violence strikes. This Postal cover-up has to be exposed and extinguished. How has it been able to go on this long? Why do we need to have another massacre before this issue is resolved?
