“Until then I stand by everything I posted.”
Fine, it’s just your perspective ( I am presupposing you are a USPS employee) versus mine as a consumer. You just can’t push off the differences between the USPS and the private delivery services by saying that you “go more places more frequently.” Face it, all government (and that most especially applies to the USPS) runs for the benefit of the employees first, the government second, and maybe the consumer/taxpayer last. It nice for you not to worry about whether or not you do a good job ( and maybe you are a stellar postal worker, I don’t know) making a difference to your continued employment.
Even now, with the USPS essentially failing as a “privatized entity,” the worry isn’t how you evolve to a model that’s cost effective and in keeping with the times. It’s oh dear, how are we going to continue to “do right” by all our excess staffing who are expecting cradle to grave employment/retirement! Your “brothers” over at UPS and FedEx are a totally different breed. I see it every time one of them comes to my door with a package. The are happy, pleasant, and focussed. My mailman in his jeep, on the other hand most of the time exhibits none of those traits, because he knows he doesn’t have to. It’s what’s wrong with government in general and most specifically Public Employee Unions. Their attitude is “I don’t have to give a $h!t, I am a protected species.” But the taxpayer will have the last laugh, because like it or not, eventually, the money is going to run out!
The USPS is a government agency ~ it is not a private entity. Everybody knows that.
