Major Announcement by USPS
#1
My post master told me this aft the on March 25 USPS is coming out with a major announcement. He doesn't know what it is either. They just were told there will be some major changes.
I am so hoping we don't lose our Post Office! It would be soooo inconvenient!! I don't want to have to figure out how to do it online(I know alot of people like it) and I don't want to have to go 12miles to the next town to mail something!!
I really hope we don't lose any more post offices in our area! I know things are tight but this would not be good.

Hmmm still can't decide if my momma (a PO carrier) lucked out by getting hurt so badly on the job she may not be able to return or if the PO is really going to screw her over more so now and refuse to give her any disability or anything....

I don't mind them cutting back on days....after all, we CAN survive without mail on Saturday. But if they close our small PO, I'll be upset. It's ALWAYS busy at this PO...and we'd have to go 40 miles to the nearest. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

REDESIGNING USPS
CHANGES TO BE ANNOUNCED IN LATE MARCH
“Communicating with employees on our redesign policy is an important and ongoing process. We will continue to keep employees up-to-date as our plans are solidified.”
On Jan. 7, PMG Pat Donahoe announced the beginning of an organizational redesign that will help streamline the Postal Service. The announcement included a 16-percent reduction in the officer ranks of the Postal Service and the impending closure of the Southeast Area (Link, 1/21).
The redesign process continues. Donahoe, the Executive Leadership Team, and area and headquarters vice presidents are currently examining the existing organizational structure, recommending where USPS can be realigned to better match resources to workload. Decisions based on this review are scheduled to be announced by the end of March. This announcement — a major benchmark in the long-term redesign of the Postal Service — could include district closures, as well as changes in organizational structures at headquarters and in the field.
The March announcement also could lead to a reduction in force (RIF) or voluntary early retirement (VER) for specific groups of employees. If implemented, the VER option will be announced along with the new organizational structure.
Resources will be available on the Human Resources Organizational Changes website throughout the redesign process. RIF and VER timelines — once announced — also will be posted on this website, as well as guidance to help affected employees make informed decisions.
