You all would not know loyalty to anyone or anything but yourself and the money you get from being “Stupid”, and arrogant! Listen to someone who knows what they are doing instead of someone that didn’t work on the floor but a guick minute cause they were afraid of a little dirt and work.

here is another upper mgmnt employee making the rest of us in look like idiots…………………..I believe the key phrase here is “paid postal employee which means “on the clock” on the other hand perhaps if this district managers job was being lost he/she might feel differently…

The Postal Service should mail itself a copy of the constitution. I would be willing to bet that it would supercede the ELM. This DM wants employees to be faithful to the P.O.. Faithful to an employer who wants nothing more than to put us out of work. Oh, and by the way collect nice big paychecks and bonuses.

This gag order is from Seattle. It needs to stop, NOW!! Seattle is in a battle right now to save our mailrooms which are foot routes. Seattle management seems to think that giving 44 routes in downtown Seattle a vehicle and converting high rise buildings to a park and loop route will save money. WHERE? HOW? Every single postal customer in downtown Seattle is against this insane plan. Management is still steamrolling it through. The inbred idiot manager that spread this gag order retired Oct. 1st. Employees are being disciplined for talking to customers about this plan. So much for free speech when it effects management’s bonuses.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Will this clown’s Area VP please rein the buffoon in before (s)he has to be schooled in the First Amendment?

We the people………..still have freedom of speech.

gee i cant wait for the next stand up regarding this waste of time agenda. on the next stand up just keep asking questions to extend our office time. it works every time when i enter it on my 96. hey area manager that wrote that letter. quit hiding behind your limited authority. be a man and be seen. as a matter of fact im writing my congressman again. and its my day off. so take that jerk.

I have to take orders from these Aholes while I’m on the clock. Be damed if they’re going to tell me what I can do off the clock!!!

This is the arkansas district manager. This was sent out to all ark offices yesterday

“I,Patrick Donahoe, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

Except Article I of the Bill of Rights. Any good constitutional lawyers out there?

yeah just like our loyalty is warrented to usps officials yet they are the first that want to reneg on our recently ratified contract and get rid of the no lay off clause. guess what kiss my butt…. loyalty –managment broke that its all fair game now. maybe this manager is concerned about the public finding out the usps needs 1 supervisor for every 2 employees and they also need huge raises every year….hummmmmmmmmm. funny thing is management has no clue more like one employee to make two mangaers look good on mystery shopper program or show them how to turn the lights on and off.

This can’t be for real. This fool thinks it is against the rules for postal employees who are american citizens first to expose lies , and dishonesty to public officials?

Somebody needs to investigate this guy ! I think that the old soviet/cuban commies have sleeper agents inside the USPS.

OIG, FBI, ACLU, whoever…go do your thing.

“Re-educate employees “….. ? Where are we? China?

if you dont write your congressmen and tell the local papers the truth who will? i have seen so much complacency in my office that it is pathetic, i guess they think it is business as usual ha ha we had a postmaster submit a letter to the local paper written from someone up above her she signed her name to it and the editor founfd out and wrote another editorial apologizing that he didnt know it was ghostwritten and chastising her for it light dispels darkness . do you think issa is worried about offending anyone hello

Our brand new Postmaster just ordered 2 new desks for his new office, a big comfy office chair and two lovely matching ‘guest chairs.’ We can’t close the office door now, with all the furniture. He then threw away 2 perfectly fine office chairs, several vital shelf units, and an old leather postmaster’s chair from about 1927 (which clerks called the “break-chair” since we lack a breakroom of any kind) and got himself 2 new printers for no particular reason (ours were not old!) I’m watching all the new furniture roll in, thinking WHERE IS THIS MONEY COMING FROM in this supposed dire financial situation? He has no training as a Postmaster, or supervisor of any kind; he has NEVER TOUCHED MAIL or dealt directly with customers in his entire postal career. Carriers & clerks are training him, only out of PURE necessity, while doing their own jobs. Rural routes all just got cut, clerk hours got cut in half.
I ask you, WTF???? So, yes I will, off the clock of course, tell anyone who will listen about the USPS request to bilk America by reducing First Class mail service. That is what the ELM talks about– actual changes in mail service time. That’s what we are not to ‘campaign’ for or against, ever. Sorry, but since my benefits have been destroyed by restructuring and Postmaster greed, I withdraw my adherence to that ELM rule. Off the clock, of course.

KMA..

Maybe we should calm down and wait for what’s coming. The USPS is NOT going to lay off anyone. What will happen is that employees will be offered a buyout significantly better than what’s ever been offered before and the job savings will pay for itself in two years time. It’s as simple as that because the USPS CAN’T do anything else. Trust me.

Too many managers with poor people skills and bloated saleries that do nothing to improve mail service to the American public….there lies the true waste in the U.S.P.S.
The management abuse and lies will be exposed…freedom still rings and karma has a way of coming back to those who oppress others.
Postal employees have the right to do as they please off the clock,just as any other American.

I don’t remember signing a non-disclosure agreement when I acknowledged NEVER to slow-down/strike against the USPS.

Most people don’t realize that for all practical purposes Postal workers relinquish their Constitutional rights when accepting employment at the USPS. Legally we are guaranteed these rights. However, the USPS has no problem firing ‘problem’ employees and letting them go a year or two without a paycheck to “get their mind right”.

Think hard about this BEFORE jeopardizing your family.

I know it’s rotten.
It is what it is.

Do a google search on….
usps employee fired “freedom of speech”

In 2009 Congressional Research Service did a report on:
Freedom of Speech and Press: Exceptions to the First Amendment

If we cant’ fight for ourselves than who the duck will
