have not gotten some mail displayed in my informed delivery from back in December-a Christmas card, a bill and something from my lawyer. I am impatiently waiting Dejoy🤬. Biden should have fired him last year! I truly believe Dejoy is trying to destroy the PO.

He’s mostly throwing attitude and arrogance to get thru questions about slow mail, bizarre truck route choices thru traffic bottlenecks, high stamp prices and more..

someone yesterday who said some people in her neighborhood where she lives have not gotten mail in a month. My husband spoke with someone while he was at our local post office-who seemed to be in the know-that the post office has hired people, but then they never come to work. In other words they get hired, then quit before they start work.

If you're not fit and healthy, this type of work will eat you alive. I worked on a grocery floor and had to move every day all day (46 hours per week). Over 39 years and retired; for less pay and angrier customers.

comes with exceptional benefits. I remember a young mail carrier who had started at the Post Office when he was going to college. Once he graduated, he was doing so well at the Post Office, that it was hard to let go to take a job in the private sector for less money and fewer benefits.

A lot of government jobs come with perks and a comfortable retirement that you rarely find in the private sector.

worked for PO for 34 years, retiring 7 years ago. Things were not great then, but they have gotten worse. His supervisor asked him to stay a while longer, but he had enough, especially the bunch of right wingers he had to work with.

I have a friend who retired from the Post Office (before the Trump administration luckily) and her pension and insurance are far better than most people get when retiring from the private sector.

It was infuriating seeing what DeJoy did to the Post Office and hard to believe he is still there.

One of his favorite excuses is empty trucks going out. Too many empty trucks, then he’ll pivot to bragging about how many packages they’re delivering. Which is it, Louis? Too much business or too little? Oh, and HE implemented the arbitrary empty truck timing years ago.

I remember DeJoy being a total dick during congressional hearings. Apparently time hasn't improved his disposition. I swear he looks like he snarls at people.

No humility, and incapable of taking responsibility for his poor performance, likely because he’s doing exactly what he set out to do: undermine the postal service.

DeJoy looks like a mob boss and he talks like one as well.

Would not surprise me if he’s connected to organized crime.

He does not strike me as an upstanding citizen and as I recall, his background would indicate he was a bit sketchy. It's been a while so I can't remember the details. I had really figured he would be gone by now.

Especially DeJoy and Trump.

BSing con man.

And he’s had four years to get it up. Here at DU, we all knew tRump chose him in order to kneecap the USPS.

You won’t be disappointed in being disappointed with DeJoy. He brought everything you’d expect — poor excuses, generalities, petulance, and disdain for his, eh, post.

I'm sure Trump is thrilled to have him still running the PO.

it's up to the Board of Governors, which is bipartisan. DeJoy is an arrogant schmuck - he's done one or two good things and that's about it. If he's subject to a hearing, his days may be numbered. He's the first postmaster general who has had NO experience.

Instituting Ground Advantage, which saved money for my customers (and myself) and went ahead with an electric vehicles phase-in.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had to be beaten over the head to do those two things - the rest of his decision making is awful.

USPS service for me has been excellent, but I put that down to the stellar postal employees, not DeJoyless.

That put him in good stead with both Schumer and the President and, I suspect, is one of the reasons getting rid of him has not been a priority. It's politics.

In fact, several Postmaster Generals came into the position without any postal service background, including Winton Blount, Albert Casey, Preston Tisch, Anthony Frank, and Marvin Runyon.

You can usually take that observation to the bank. Manic blinking is a sure sign the blinker is lying and desperately trying to sell the listener their lies. Non-stop blinking while talking is a nervous reaction to being afraid of exposure. Exposure that would confirm his flawed character. DeJoy is a poster child for this phenomenon. He is untrustworthy in all he does or purports to be. Just a fact.

Someone out there is going to say it's a sign of eye moisture disorder or some such unlikeliness. Save it, don't do business with chronic blinkers and you'll be better off for it.

I don't know how they expect anyone over the age of 7 to believe this horse pucky!

actually one now because we sold one of them at the end of the year...we could not use USPS for shipping in the lower 48 states. I used them sometimes to Canada and AK but they really are not set up for small business to use in a meaningful way. AND, you can't get a person on the phone. Ever.

All the way.

What else is there to say to or about the guy?

(per Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Governors_of_the_United_States_Postal_Service ). If Biden appoints two Democrats, the Board will include 5 Democrats, 2 Independents, and 4 Republicans.

Republican, Derek Kan to the board ???? It makes no sense.

It's a very common strategy for filling vacancies on multi-member agencies.

Biden already has nominated a Democrat to fill one of the vacancies. He will be the fourth Democrat. Kan was the fourth repub. Since no party can have more than five, there is no way Biden will nominate a fifth Republican leaving the Board with four Democrats.

for one of those slots. That was on March 1st of this year.

... and disrupt voting ballots (bottom line), regardless of what he says he is doing. That stuff, in my opinion, is smoke and mirrors that will be used to explain why voting ballots didn't get where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be, trying to throw the election to Trump.

Problem two. Rand Paul and Ron Johnson are on the committee that oversees the USPS. During their questioning, it was apparent that they thought a private postal service would be more efficient. Thus, the USPS would be able to hire non-union laborers for a cheaper hourly wage.

Rand Paul wants to do away with a union retirement plan and only hire new employees who would be forced to have a 401K.

These two, and there may be others, are both rich and do not give rats a$$ what happens to the folks that deliver our mail.

It's not the blind leading the blind; it's the co-conspirators working to privatize every government service THEY think would benefit them and others like them.

Watch it here:

I think around 1:25 or so.
DeJoy sounds unintelligent, uneducated, incurious, and incompetent. His plans to wreck the U.S. Postal Service are succeeding. He seems to think he's the czar, not the head of an Essential Service.
My rural town depends on our Post Office. Our Postmaster despairs of DeJoy, and says that most on the Board have little to no experience working in the Post Office. They sound like bureaucrats covering their asses.
I hope that this fustercluck is not beyond repair.

I hardly get mail now.

Before Republicans invaded the USPS it was consistently voted the most positively regarded federal agency. Now I’m almost afraid to use it. It’s hard to watch seeing that I used to manage there and we were uber conscientious about customer service.
