2,000 postal employees take $20,000 buyout offers

“More than 2,000 U.S. Postal Service administrators have signed up for an early-out deal that will give them $20,000 in return for leaving their financially struggling employer by the end of next month, a spokesman said Wednesday. Two thousand three employees applied by the Monday deadline, spokesman Mark Saunders said. .Their departures will account for about two-thirds of the 3,155 administrative slots that the Postal Service is cutting under the reorganization. With a reduction-in-force now under way, Vegliante said some employees could be laid off, but that won’t be known until the process ends in early September.”

  1. The ET’s in my office are as overpaid as worthless management. They just wander around bullsh%tting and fooling around.

  2. Lay-Offs, RIFs, underway, are these for the 2500 front line supervisors, 2000 postmasters, and 1152 administrators that are convinced they are too essential to be “let go”.

    My union negotiated a demotion for the Electronic Technicians, who by the way were already paid about 34.2% below market wages. Nice to see they didn’t throw us furter under the bus in the tentative contract.

    At this point. I am tired of swimming against the current in this river of raw sewage, and only hope to survive long enough to retire.
