Once Covid hit, the Amazon/E-bay packages have quadrupled +, for the carriers.
1) The vehicles are not made for this increase.
2) The personnel are told to get it done before 5, (impossible in many cases).
3) They won't hire and split routes as needed.
4) They do hire to replace the quitters, but they often quit within 3 months due to the slavedom, therefore there is no cohesiveness.
5) It's so friggin hot in the warehouse and in the trucks that the carriers are spent before they even start to deliver.

This was my experience for the 5 months that I worked there.
I quit almost two months ago because it is a sweatshop.
$19/hr and benes, and I said fk you. It's too bad because with some tweaks, it could work.

I was a distribution manager for 19 years of my other career and the USPS was/is the most disfunctionally managed place that I have ever seen.
It'll be interesting to see what happens in September when the money runs out.
