What's this? catalogs STILL thrive? I thought we were all supposed be "flippin' hambers" by now! Oh wait, I get it, all the WORKING folks' contracts are all IN right now, we must be getting close to ass-sitters negotiations. Time to change gears and let a little TRUTH out ! Maybe even time again to bypass truth and head towards the other end of full-blown lies and conveniently FIND another windfall from 'accounting errors'.

IT NEVER CHANGES!!!!

Sounds like someone hasn't been paying attention. Everyone, union and management alike, have been saying for the last couple of years that first class mail is declining, direct mail (catalogs, ads, etc.) are staying the same or going up. The volume numbers come out every quarter, regardless of who's got a contract. Of course, if reading and thinking is too hard for you, stick to your conspiracy theory.

Hey 5:44, not too hard for me, but clearly the 'AND THINKING' component must be an overcomable hurdle for yourself! Of course management and their co-opted mistresses have been SAYING that"volumes are down",..."volumes are down this ratio that ratio blah",.."blah,...blah"( key word: for those who obviously need a clue=SAYING)....And,of course, the volume numbers come out every quarter,.."regardless"..... and WHO generates those numbers? Again, Mr manager follow your own advice read AND THINK here! Are these objectively collected and cataloged by a third party with no conflicting interest in the outcome? Or is it the same lyin' dipshits who retrofit and reconfigure the truth at every juncture in the roadway? c'mon,... THINK!!!!

Hey 10:44, you are a moron. I am ashamed that employees like you with an IQ of 7 or maybe less post your mronic trash on this site. Everyone who handles any mail knows that first class is down just like the figures say and catalogs are up, no conspiracy here, no management ulterior motive, just fact. Do us all a favor and go back to third grade where you belong.

Our little friend asks:

"Again, Mr manager follow your own advice read AND THINK here! Are these objectively collected and cataloged by a third party with no conflicting interest in the outcome?"

Well, no, not really- the data is collected by your brother and sister clerks- the ones who get the "data collector" bids.

And all the data gets scrutinized every time there's a rate case. By your union, UPS, congressmen, the White House, anyone that wants to stick their nose in. So I guess ALL of them are in on the conspiracy! Isn't it amazing that personally screwing YOU is the only thing they all agree on?

Hey 11:28;
There is no 10:44
You just proved our point, Typical Management you can't look at a number without changing it. what did you forget you were not at your work computer and start changing numbers again. Well you have shown us that it is not the Numbers that lie now is it.

Folks:

Speaking of thinking. Do you ever consider that lowly consumers, like me, check out this site? To read the litany of flagrant vitriol and unsubstantiated accusations is most discouraging when it comes time to make a package shipment decision -- especially at the holidays. Consider how such comments must warm the hearts of your cempetitors.

OOh! you're soo right! How could we have been so crass? I mean, just mentioning the deceptive ways of our heinously corrupt managers,...what were we thinking? 'Warm the hearts of our cempetitors' indeed! Shame on us! How dare we oppose such vile ,manipulative exploitations? I am so humbled,..I know now that the only solution to our plight is a lovefest between producing postal employees and their usurping ,parasitic overlords! Forgive me!

You'll be humbled when you get kicked out into the real world and find out what you are truly worth. Don't apply for any jobs that require typing skills or basic literacy, or you will be humbled even further. Now get back to work.
