The U.S. Postal Service is planning to hire just 10,000 temporary employees during the current holiday season as part of a new approach that management has acknowledged comes with some risks.
The seasonal hiring marks a 64% reduction from the employees brought on in 2022 during what USPS calls its “peak season” when the agency made 28,000 temporary hires. The agency had said it would bring on just 20,000 seasonal workers that year, but a recent USPS inspector general report found it reached a higher tally.
The Postal Service is planning to hire about 4,500 retail and delivery employees, down 30% from last year, and about 5,500 operations and processing workers, a 75% reduction.
Why hire less workers? Is that shitty DeJoy still in charge?
I thought I saw some article about a new member of the board being put in, so the Democrats would have the majority to remove him now. I guess it was too much to hope that had happened lol.
