The USPS has been inept long before now. That quote says no one since 1992 had been appointed without any USPS experience, and now this guy was appointed by Trump. Why is that a bad thing? Seems about the mid 90s is when the USPS really started turning to shite. Maybe hiring from within for 30+ years wasn't a good thing. Most of our government would be better off hiring people from private industry.

They do whatever the union tells them to do, which is usually not work

They keenly didn't include budget cuts in that motto.
USPS definitely hires some less than stellar workers but surely no more than Fed Ex or UPS -- based on too much personal experience with all of them through my business.
My neighbor is a postmaster for a zip code which almost doubled in population in the past 10 years.
The facility for that zip code has had it's budget cut to 80% of what it was when it only handled around 1/3 of the current volume and was moved into a building that has less than 1/2 the previous storage capacity.
They daily deal with issues like people complaining -- like me constantly -- about inaccurate delivery tracking while they request 10 new scanners for 10 delivery workers and only receive 3.
Not to excuse what I'm sure is lots of bad management at the top-- just like in most businesses -- but they have a lot of issues that are simply budget related for the ever increasing amount of packages they handle.

That’s no spoof. I knew a mailman who had an old walking route; He called in sick every time it rained.

Should probably cancel and reorder a long sleeve T. Timing may be better for wearing it.

You’d better not mix the two up.
It was a simpler, better time when accountability and character meant something.
Great tribute.

You forgot "dark of night" which even that seems to stop our mail some days. That said, I have seen our mailman delivering mail at 7 PM.
Still, no mail yesterday or today, and I know we had stuff coming.

That phrase is about the ancient Persian empire couriers, not USPS.

—that’s the origin, yes, but the USPS 100% used that as a slogan for years. It stopped in the 1990s. Hmmmmm
