> You have weeks, not months, to fix this. If you don’t fix it, 36% on-time delivery, I don’t think you’re fit for this job,” Ossoff said.
He is not fit for the job and everyone knows it. He seems to be actively working to collapse the USPS completely.
The quality and reliability of USPS has noticeably decreased for me over the last few years.
Shit is late all the time, lost sometimes, damaged on rare occasion, and returned to sender (especially overseas senders), despite being addressed correctly (acknowledged repeatedly by our mail supervisor) at least a dozen times. And friends and co-workers in the area report the same issues.
This sucks as a person relying on USPS to send and receive stuff, and I can only imagine how much it must suck as an employee.
Get rid of this motherfucker, yesterday!
Isnt this the same postmaster general who authorized dismantling mail sorting machines just before the largest mail in ballot election?
Good! I feel like everyone in Georgia has been affected by this nonsense. My son’s bday gift (from gpa in New Mexico) was stuck in Atlanta for nearly a month before it finally arrived.
I’ve been the treasurer for several different organizations over the last 30+ years and I have had more issues with checks lost in the mail (both incoming and outgoing) in the last year than in all previous years combined.
It is a serious problem.
DeJoy runs the USPS like he was a majority shareholder for Stamps.Com.
Another one of Trump’s incompetent hires, and the GOP has the nerve to complain about DEI.
This is the same postmaster that has a large financial interest in USPS competitors.
The same postmaster that tried hobbled USPS during COVID by engaging in the [removal of mailboxes](https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/08/usps-removes-mailboxes-in-portland-and-eugene-cites-declining-mail-volume.html), [dismantling mail sorting machines resulting in a 10% loss of sorting capacity](https://www.npr.org/2020/08/19/903982558/dismantling-mail-sorting-machines-could-leave-a-lasting-mark-on-the-postal-servi), and [cutting necessary overtime](https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2020/07/looking-cut-costs-new-usps-leader-takes-aim-overtime-and-late-trips/166917/).This prompted a sufficient outcry that DeJoy promised to [suspend the changes](https://www.wsj.com/articles/postmaster-general-dejoy-to-testify-before-senate-panel-friday-11597758378), but admitted in a meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that the [removed mailboxes and sorting machines would not be restored](https://apnews.com/c30ccc6effa23a2209d9298a26919b90). This was confirmed with an [official Email to USPS employees directing them not to reconnect sorting machines](https://www.postaltimes.com/postalnews/usps-headquarters-tells-managers-not-to-reconnect-mail-sorting-machines/). The USPS also confirmed that, because sorting machines were stripped for parts, and scrapped, it would be [impossible to reconnect them](https://www.businessinsider.com/usps-not-possible-to-restore-dismantled-mail-sorting-machines-2020-9).
These changes were [deemed by a federal judge to be a “politically motivated attack” on the integrity of the USPS](https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/federal-judge-rules-trump-and-louis-dejoy-waged-politically-motivated-attack-against-usps-will-rescind-recent-changes/). By the end of September, [several federal judges had ruled that USPS must roll back DeJoy’s changes](https://www.federaltimes.com/federal-oversight/congress/2020/09/28/us-judge-orders-stop-to-postal-service-cuts-echoing-others/). These demands were met with stonewalling prompting [yet another case being brought and another judge ruling a week out from the election, on Oct 27, that USPS must allow for after-hours delivery after-hours delivery](https://www.kctv5.com/court-sets-plan-to-make-sure-postal-service-delivers-ballots-quickly-one-week-ahead-of/article_0c6b550e-e6d1-5a51-b3f5-1f42323fa2ae.html). USPS continued to ignore court orders, [missing a mandated deadline to sweep facilities for 300,000 missing ballots, primarily in competitive districts](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2020/11/03/postal-service-blows-deadline-check-missing-mail-ballots/6149643002/).
As a result of these changes, the USPS Inspector General [issued a dire warning](https://www.uspsoig.gov/document/processing-readiness-election-and-political-mail-during-2020-general-elections) stating that, during the primaries, over 1 million ballots were sent within one week of the deadline which would not afford sufficient time for them to be returned and deemed these “high-risk”.
Since then, it has also been revealed that USPS [failed to update addresses for 1.8 million individuals](https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/due-to-an-inexplicable-error-usps-failed-to-update-new-addresses-of-nearly-2-million-americans-report/). While this was corrected mid-September 2020, it was too late for many individuals to receive ballots.
Tax dollars hard at work. No value with any administration. Endless trough piglets.
How is DeJoy able to suck so badly at his job for 4 years without getting replaced? I’m all for giving inexperienced people a chance to prove themselves…but 4 fucking years?
He’s a Russian Operative!
DeJoy was sent to make sure mail in ballots were not timely received even though they were timely mailed. Get him out of the USPS before the 2024 election.
