"The U.S. Postal Service and leaders of postal management organizations are considering tougher standards for pay-for-performance raises in fiscal 2005. ... [NAPS President Vince] Palladino said that under draft goals, higher percentages of second-day Priority mail, overnight, second-day and third-day first-class mail must be delivered on time. The number of sick days and accidents in fiscal 2005 must be lower than the previous year. There would be no change in the next-day Express mail delivery rates, Palladino said."

It was a diffcult task Pay for Performance this year. We need the Unions to accept this for thier members so we can all work as a Team. I am a level 21 Postmaster and it looks like Im getting a 8% raise. We should all be under the same Pay for Performance. The Postal Service should get this done.
Looks like it's gonna be a BAAAAD year for craft next year. Let the whuppins commence.
To the Postmaster's comment, you must be new in the Postal Service. Everyone knows their is no team work in the P.O. As long as management continues to not be an example for the craft, things will remain the same. There is no pay for performance for the craft, because people in your position will just use it to keep union (craft)memembers pay down. The fox guarding the hen house!
WE ALL KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE NEW RULES FOR THE
IDIOTIC MANAGERS WHO ATTEMPT TO CLIMD THE LADDER ON THE BACKS OF THE WORKERS. The best thing that we workers can do is write up everything the ASSHOLE MANAGERS tell us when they are wrong. This is their game, so let's give back to them in SPADES. We workers move the mail tTO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY,and the fact that we are not machines, but HUMAN BEINGS IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. We must fight management's FIRE WITH FIRE. The workers will win if we all stick together. this is the way to defeat management at their game. Write them up left and right. this will show them that we can do our job.

Yes the same managers who sexually harrass and abuse casuals.

I didn't know we had standards for managers. Some of our managers look like the people you see sleeping under bridges.
It's seems to me there are a bunch of angry employees out there. How quickly you are to judge all managers. I am a manager of 15 years and I cannot ever remember categorizing a group of employees (clerks, carriers, mail handler, maintenance) as lazy. I treat each person as an individual. If they act like .....HOLES, then I treat them as such. We just follow orders from the top. We don't agree with all of them, but we do our jobs.
Let go of your anger and carry on with your life!
Get some therapy.
sure fewer people through attrition, sickness, or useless(not all of you) rehabs, but you people who show up every day & do your job, don't you dare call in sick. my job isn't hard , but the constant, unrealistic expectations from upper management creates a very stressful situation & maybe the workforce should have a say in the bonus situations.
LOW for Sick Leave, er, I mean unscheduled absences. LOW for running your vehicle into a fixed object, er, I mean an accident. Damn, I love my job. Don't forget the copies to the house for the spouse to see. I too will bring home the 8% and be home by 4:30.
After reading the comments to this posting; I am surprised at some of the comments. Some of us talk like the war is not in Araq but right here in the P.O.
Some of you may not realize that the Post Office did offer a "pay for performance" type of incentive for craft employees. This was promptly "nixed" by our union officials. If you think about it, it is in their best interest that craft and management continue to be at odds with each other. if the two groups are on the same page and have a combined incentive...$$$$... to get the mail out... there would be no need for unions. Hmmm... no $100,000+ a year salary, no paid travel and per diem, no playing "politics" with our elected gov't officials... and last but not least... some of those folks will be back in the post office doing their bidded job assignments that are being held for them and cannot be bidded out; if they have not already retired. Stop complaining about what postal mgrs are getting when we had the same opportunity to get it.Blame the unions for not buying into it. Personally, I would like some type of Profit Sharing program for All postal employees. Let's stop talking about each other and just get the mail out!
It is obvious that the rank and file Postal Worker will be in for more Threats, Assaults and be Brutalized more then ever for 2005. Management will get their numbers wether they hurt Postal Wokers or just lie about their numbers as usual. The Bonus comes first.
I have never seen a more pathetic group of whiners in my friggin'life. You dufus craft people ought to be thankful you have a job, you lame idiots.
As for postal management, most of them couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper bag. Your bread and butter mail volume, first class, is eroding monthly. You waste your time marketing parcels when the whole world delivers parcels. And you celebrate your success when your company is in a steep decline.
Do what the real world does....lay off your lame, whining employees, close your offices that lose money, and quit trying to sell the public phone cards or other postal crap that no 4 year old would want.
P-O-S-T-A-L =
Pathetic
Outdated
Stupid
Team of
Anti-productive
Losers
203 BILLION pieces of mail delivered last year.Sounds outdated and unproductive doesn't it idiot!Get real, the only thing unprodutive is on your shoulders.
The real problem with the PO is there are just to many Managers and Supervisors, (known to craft employees as Manglers and Stupidvisors) eliminate 1/2 of them and give that money to whats left as a bonus.
When management stops with thier stupid lets add a report that tells us if all reports are done on time attitude and starts managing the mail flow, maybe they will see what can be accomplished. One day We get 3 trays of mail and the next we have 15 and they expect the same amount of time everyday. Hahaha.. Impossible,
Accidents Lets see, Since we had more than 0 Backing accidents lets create Authorized Backing locations on each route and discipline anyone caught backing anywhere else. Never mind we are still going to issue discipline when someone has an accident at an authorized backing location. hahahaha It is happening oh and lets not forget Issuing discipline for being hit from behind while the carrier is stopped for a red light. Letter of Warning requested hahaha I have seen more than one of these.
Sick leave use: No heres an interesting item, We earn 4 hours per pay period, we work 60 hours per week, 120 hours a pay period, in all weather conditions. and if we have more than 24 hours of sick leave in a 90 day period use we can expect a Letter of warning. Never mind there are some with disabilities, there are some who have cronic conditions that require treatment, Never mind we are Veterans who get last min notice of a VA Appointment... And the last never mind for FERS employees if we don't use it, we lose it at retirement.. you want incentive, Stop the abuse of the craft employees who actually work 8 hours per day. I personally know of 3 manglers who spend more time at a local buffet than they do in the PO, and they are never "sick" or "not doing Postal Business" Maybe I am crazy but if you pay me 60 to 80 K a year I expect to put in a full work week and be productive in the process
True Story! In our office several weeks ago, the supervisor called a carrier away from his case in the morning, to ask for his help. The supervisor was having trouble understanding how a new solitare card game on the computer worked and thought the carrier might know! I'm not making this up!
The managers abuse casuals so much. Sexually harrass casuals and treat them like damn dogs. Pay them peanuts. FAT ASS STUPID managers.
I cant wait until privatization. What are you whinning babies going to do when you actually have to work or be replaced. When the USPS goes private, you will all get your wish--management will be the first to go. A new line of management from the real world will be brought in to lead, and will treat employees the way they are in the private sector. For the amount of pay USPS employees make yearly, we should all work ten times as hard as we do now. I too agree management is not always par for the course, but I am much happier in the USPS than I was in the private work environment. If the USPS is so bad, go somewhere else and work so the rest of us can enjoy our work environment.
