“Executive success is defined by a number of factors, including financial returns, the quality of service the Postal Service provides, the results achieved by the executive’s actions to enhance the organization’s efficiency and overcome challenges and whether an executive met established individual goals. For these reasons, lump sum incentives may be appropriate even in years in which the Postal Service sustains financial losses. This is especially true where the Postal Service maintained service levels while significantly reducing costs.”

wow I think these are g8 stats, now with such benitis why would I leave this job and find a job elsewhere?!
Can’t come up with round-trip tix to Wash DC? You can Occupy APWU HQ easily by filling out your PS 1188 today! Do it before the next round of dues increases and assessments coming round the bend brought to you by your union!
It is quite the can of worms. Given the mass exodus for competitor mailing concerns, maybe the post office has been used as a parasitic host. They place the virus of privatization in 2001, they negotiate a new Contract in 2006 – and they make sure the 5.5 Billion dollar debacle will topple the USPS in time. Meanwhile they’re positioning their new companies, readying for the privatization of the Postal Service.
2001 – Potter Creates the Mail Industry Task Force (MITF) with DPM Nolan and Pitney Bowes CEO Critelli co-chairs creating a platform for Postal Reform (Privatization).
2002-Critelli becomes Council President of the Mail Industry CEO Council (MICEO), allowing MICEO to lobby MITF which is championing Postal Reform (Privatization).
2002 – Nolan praises the work of the MICEO giving tacit USPS approval to Postal Reform (Privatization) ideas submitted therein.
2002 – Potter submits USPS Transformation Plan to Congress which was chock full of short- and long-term options for change in USPS operations and delivery practices, and was a partial basis for the landmark Postal Reform and Accountability Act (H.R. 6407) passed in late 2006.
2005 – Mail Express, Inc. a startup business-to-consumer lightweight package delivery company is created. (In 2010 renamed Streamlite, Inc.)
2005 – USPS Board of Governors Attacks Union Pay and Benefits.
2006 – Nolan and Critelli tout the importance of their Postal Reform (Privatization) plans.
2006 – Nearly dead H.R. 6407 rises, Lazarus-like, and somehow crawls onto the desk of Pres. Bush to be signed into law on Dec. 20.
2006 – H.R. 6407 the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) includes “pay for performance” language that enhances Potter’s retirement package (Super-size me, please), while saddling the USPS with 5.5 Billion dollar prefunding leading to present day fiscal insolvency.
2007 – Nolan who co-chaired the MITF from 2001 to 2006 leaves the USPS for Mail Express just three months after passage of H. R. 6407. Gail Sonnenberg also leaves USPS for Mail Express (According to Streamlite, Inc. Sonnenberg is credited with establishing “pay for performance” during her tenure as Vice President of Human Resources at USPS). 2010 – Dec. 3, Potter retires with a 5.5 Million retirement package, enhanced by the PAEA, and “Pay for Performance” bonuses.
2010 – Pitney Bowes spends one million lobbying the Post Office and another million lobbying the Postal Regulatory Commission.
Occupy the widows with clerks
Occupy the box lobbys with coin stamps machines that can sell a stamp
Occupy the streets with carriers on saturday
Occupy Donahoes HQ with custodians to clean out his office
Occupy it with a real PMG
why dont the sacrifices start at the top.. first.. cut excecutives to one third of the total now.. then cut their salary to 12 bucks an hour.. like the new hirees are gonna get.. ( they expect those people to survive on it..why cant they??)..
After seeing this and thinking about the fact that the PMG just froze the lesser bosses wages, bonuses, and pay increases, I’m wondering when the pussies at NAPS are going to strap on a pair and tell these money grubbing ass wipes where to get off? I can’t believe the balls of the PMG to tell the lesser bosses to go without for the good of the service and then takes home a bonus and other incentives. I’m laughing my ass off over this! What balls! This is what happens when you take a window clerk and make him the CEO! Absolutely hillarious
Occupy APWU HQ at 1300 L Street Wash DC !
Offer employees a years pay and 3 years service if you want numbers…
Savings? shit can half your wasteful useless management.
Savings and numbers not a word about service.
Roll Roll Roll your boat….
well said gambino THEY HAVE TO ELIMINATE SATURDAY DELIVERY THE SAVINGS ARE HUGE 3.1 BILLION A YEAR
Gambino, I partially agree with some of the things you say, but if you think I am going to feel sorry for Donahoe, or any of the good ‘ol boys and their tokens up at the top, you are extremely confused. First of all, I don’t care how much people in the private sector get paid, because the Postal upper echelons of the USPS are working for a government agency and since when was that suppose to be such lucrative a career? Apparently it has become so. I guess it’s not enough to just have to grand title, we have to pay the guy grand amounts of money, too, eh? The people in Washington D.C. have become a bunch of little kingdoms for so many of them! Do I think the PMG is overpaid? Duh, yes! Up until just a few years ago, the President of the United States only made $200,000. And the loss of first-class mail is not something that happened overnight. For years the Postal Service management has refused to think ahead enough to notice the change from letters to parcels. I mentioned it many times and was told I didn’t know what I was talking about. Now, all of a sudden, they acknowledge that package services are the fastest growing portion of the business – they have known for years that the letter volumes were going down. The problem is, they didn’t act on these things until it was too late. They were getting paid to run the USPS, and all they have done is run it into the ground. Then they want to blame the unions and the craft. Everyone has had they’re hand in the demise of the USPS, but management was being paid to run it in a prudent manner, and that was not done. These people should not be rewarded for a lack of performance, just like they say of all those in the craft, eh?
gettng bounus money for losing billions and billions of dollars……even PT Barnum would find that one funny!
I have been bringing this up on the web for a few months now. Thank God someone has finally caught on and realized the absurdity of it all! Paying these people exhorbitant amounts of money – for what – for FAILURE!? Then everybody wants the actual “working Joe/Joann” to take the bite so the big guys at the top can fill their pockets, (just like the Wall Street bankers and failing auto corporations did.) Instead of making prudent, fiscally responsible (their favorite buzz word right now) decisions about running the postal service, these people were living it up at posh gatherings, and filling their pockets while they were/are purposefully making decisions that were/are costing the USPS more and more money! (Such as totally unnecessary labor issues that are instigated by management itself.) These people are drunk on their own power and the misuse of it. They have no time to actually run the USPS like they are paid to do! And these people are the “special ones,” who don’t have to actually work, but decide the fate of hundreds of thousands of people who do actually have to do the work to make the money for the USPS. The folly of it all is mind-blowing!
If you think its management that keeps the mail moving and should get a bonus you have not Idea its the workers who want to keep poviding great customer service.
The pubic doesnt want to hear semi-quasi BS oh Sulton of Swat.
The impossible task as the demand for USPS products and services has declined and the future is bleak is due to management not listening to the voices of the public not being served.
And you still dont, IMO this Government no longer serves its people.
It serves itself.
The President Of The United States SHOULD be EXECUTIVE ORDERING a STOP TO THIS , Im holding every ONE of you SWINGING DICKS ACCOUNTABLE come 2012!
HEADS NEED TO ROLE.
Hurts, but all true and fair.
DONAHOE AND HIS TOP CRONIES HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING FIRST-CLASS MAIL TO DECLINE FASTER THAN LAST YEAR!!! THEIR POLICIES OF REDUCING WINDOW HOURS, CUTTING WINDOW HOURS, SHUTTING POST OFFICES, HAS SUCCESSFULLY CAUSED FIRST-CLASS MAIL TO DECLINE AT A GREATER RATE THAN IF THE POST OFFICE WAS RUN BY 10 YEAR OLD CHILDREN. DONAHOE NEEDED THIS DECLINE AND THE RESULTING DOLLAR LOSS IN AN ATTEMP TO PUSH THROUGH HIS TRANSFORMATION PLAN. WHICH, BY THE WAY, WILL CUT SERVICE TO EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA, THEIR WILL BE NO MORE OVERNIGHT DELIVERY OF FIRST-CLASS MAIL ANYWHERE IF DONAHOE GETS HIS WAY. THE MAIL WILL BE TRUCKED AND SIT SOMEWHERE UNTIL POSTAL MANAGEMENT GETS AROUND TO RUNNING IT AND THEN TRUCKED BACK FOR DELIVERY. DON’T YOU GUYS SEE THE NEED TO REWARD THESE “POSTAL GENIUSES” FOR THEIR “AMAZING” EFFORT??????
My first day of Executive success.
Scott Davis UPS CEO salary 1.12 million, Fred Smith CEO FED X 2.2 million. Corporate CEO are responsible to directors and shareholders, owners of the company, and must excute revenue generation to creat earnings to increase share appreciation for shareholders.
PMG works for semi-quasi government service with a goal to breakeven which is an impossible task as the demand for USPS products and services has declined and the future is bleak. The USPS and universal constitutional mail service is history. The USPS was a needed service for physical delivery to a street address in the 20th century. The advancements in communication technology in the 21st century has made the USPS obsolete as written First class mail delivery to a physical address is an outdated mode as electronic mail is instant and does not require a fee(postage stamp) for a 1-2 day delivery time, Electronic communication means are continually increasing as new APPS are increasing. The INTERNET,I PODS, TABLETS, SMART PHONES-TEXTING, KINDLES and other means are resulting in businesses rewarding customers to go PAPERLESS. Treasury checks,pensions and monatary process is being transacted on line such as direct deposit.
Revenue is decreasing:debt is increasing as services exceed revenue intake.
Cost effective operations must be exercised. Closing offices that due to changing demographics are no longer needed to provide postal service. Management levels must be reduced from headquarters, areas, districts,postmasters to local officies.
Amajor cost reduction would be to eliminate Sat. street delivery to deliver bulk business advertising mail on Sat. which is not time sensitive. Eliminating Sat. street delivery would save petroleumn cost for 200,000+ vehicles and delivery personnel.USPS should concentrate on core products of advertising mail and parcel delivery 5 days a week to meet objective of breakeven point and eliminate loosing billions of dollars as presently the results. Must also have a reduction in employees to maximize automation and reduce manhour cost.
PMG has difficult job in dealing with politicans, craft and management unions in attempting to operate at a breakeven point. Congress and PRC should have economic understanding of actions needed and quit playing politics to appease various groups who have only selfish agendas.
Other factors to take into consideration is the falsifying of work hours, piece counts and the deleting of run files on various machines. Don’t forget the PETE and End to End Scores are not based on when it actually gets delivered to the actual address but on when the piece of mail gets to the next facility. The USPS uses fuzzy math to figure things out so it’s a wonder if anyone should believe anything Dono-WHO says. Fat Jack Potter made his “exit stage left” with his pockets full. How much of the $11 Billion (FERS over payment) do you really think the workers will get? Dono-WHO is salivating as we speak.
A 5.1 Billion lost and this is Executive success? defined by a number of factors?
WTF are you smoking?
The public thinks it sinks, so they arent providing quality.
These postal fat boy have forgotten. Its the public you serve.
You have to be kidding.
Makes me Puke!!!
Postal executives should recieve no bonus at all. They set their own bonus agenda and thresholds, and then manipulate the budget and processing of mail to achieve it. They also violate labor contracts to reduce operating expenses so as to put large million dollar grievance settlements into a different fiscal year. A independent third party should set bonus criteria, and then audit results. Any manager caught cheating or violating the elm or labor contract should be terminated.
