The postal service is run by morons. The entire system runs on hierarchy where everyone lies to the person immediately above them because their expectations are unrealistic or impossible. Then every interaction between hierarchy levels is inherently hostile and some jobs in the service exist solely to write up the paperwork to get someone in trouble because the postal service only ever uses sticks and never carrots.

There’s a staggering amount of do-nothing jobs that exist just to make things harder for other workers. For example the postal service hires nurses. For quick, in house medical service? No. So someone with a medical background can arbitrarily decide if a signed doctor’s note, from a doctor, on their letterhead, is valid or not. There’s the safety crew too. What do they do? Oh it’s their job to make sure everyone is wearing USPS approved shoes, wearing seatbelts, and parking correctly. That almost makes sense except most of the time they just sit in their cars all day and only occasionally decide to hide in random places and write up employees for small infractions.

The postal service needs congress to get rid of its insane law forcing the organization to fund pensions 75 years in advance and then it needs to get rid of the thousands of useless middle management jobs.
