I have 4 packages stuck at the New Orleans regional since Wednesday and Thursday. Usually packages don’t stay that long. Good thing it’s nothing too important. People may be waiting on medicine or other things that are needed badly. Hopefully they straighten this shite out.

I had a package sit there last week longer than it took all the other legs of the journey combined.

But not to worry, they will surely handle your election ballot properly.

I never have packages sit at the New Orleans regional this long. This is due to whatever they just fricked with.

I don’t know exactly. But they have made changes that are slowing down the mail is all I heard.

Read today that some top management was shuffled around due to these issues after their changes. Supposed to streamline and correct the issues but notice they were shuffled and replaced, not fired.

OMB is fricking with the postal service to win the election.

They in this instance is a new postmaster general who is running the USPS like a business. Dude really is an expert in logistics and efficiency and that means prioritizing routes.

Anyone who thinks Whites are not discriminated against needs to explain why Blacks seem to be the only employees at so many post offices across the South.

The long waits, the frick you attitude, the its time for break attitude, so tired of it. Privatize it now!

I had one go from Jackson to the wrong post office and back to Jackson. It's supposedly now"in transit to the next destination". It was supposed to have been delivered yesterday. Who knows where it'll end up, or when I'll receive it.

Well the new Postmaster General restricted overtime. Therefore they can’t catch up. The mail doesn’t just stop coming in to allow them to get caught up. It’s either a shortsighted attempt to cut cost, or it’s being done with the distinct purpose of slowing down service.

It’s this. Not to mention DeJoy and his wife have investments in USPS competitors.

Trump & his goonies are purposely slowing down mail service.

Had one package shipped July 16 that just showed up today. Another sat in New Orleans for 9 days before being delivered. Then another package has gone to 3 different distribution centers in California over 9 days and hasn’t made its way to Louisiana yet.
