Briefly, as previously stated, I was an employee of a Defense
Department
agency. At first, my job was to gather information, but I was not
a
spy,
nor was I working as one. Just information gathering.

But I did get...the offer of two high level
jobs in labor management for the USPS.

Admit it. You tracked lost mail for the Army.


That would have been fun, but, alas, I turned down the USPS...twice.


That's probably a good thing. The USPS already has enough employees
with
anti-social personality disorders.



Most of it is a result of really ****-poor management and management
policies. Really. Unless you've seen it up close, you cannot begin to
understand how bad postal management at the post office level is.


That's my main beef with organizations which promote people based upon
length of time working there rather than based upon a person's merits.
It
then becomes virtually impossible to get rid of the dead wood. Instead,
the
dead wood gets promoted. The Public school system is another example
where
tenure has really ****ed things up. If I have one major complaint about
labor unions, it's that they're the *worst* perpetrator of this type of
irrational promotion scheme.




You obviously have no idea how the USPS works.

No? Then please enlighten me. On what basis does the USPS promote
employees?

Oh...and teachers don't get promoted year to year with the kids.

No. The really ****ty ones (who get the most parental complaints about
them)get shuffled off to an administration position...which is tantamount to
a promotion. Conversely, the great ones are, in-effect, punished by being
shifted into the classrooms to teach the kids who weren't able to pass the
minimum basic skills tests.
