Retired Postal Service of 30 years here. The Postal Service is totally mismanaged. It is ultra overstaffed with unneeded "Managers and Supervisors" with obscene salaries all blamed on the average "worker" employees. The Postal Service is top heavy with useless managers commanding huge, grossly undeserved salaries. Many management personnel get their wives working in postal management too resulting in a double dipping effect. Huge, obscene salaries. I just did my time as a "worker bee" and got the hell out. Can't change a corrupt government entity where service is non-existent ~ and salaries are always guaranteed by the public money. Also, management micro-manages employees to the point of being on the verge of violence. Surely you have heard the term: GOING POSTAL ~~
Totally agreed. They seriously need to cut down these management positions. There is no way in hell does one office need 3 supervisors and a postmaster
I love how they get people who haven't worked a position to become supervisors for that same position. Supervisors should be required to have worked the jobs they're supervising.
@jeffreyblessing4011 totally agreed. They need to havecoversight on these management positions. Alot of these sup get these " details" where they are sent to other office for street observation with paid hotel, gas and overtime pay. It's completely ridiculous
The witness is between a Very hard rock (cutting costs) and Another Very Hard (payroll is “off limits”)!! The corrupt part of the system is that the scum who Allow the growth of Government KNOW VERY WELL that the “growth” costs THEIR CONSTITUENTS more taxes 🤬🤬🤬
As someone who works for USPS, he's destroying the mail service. Here in Missouri, they're slashing so many plants, processing equipment and craft positions and hiring more and more managers who quite literally set behind a desk all day and do nothing but watch carriers on the street and yell at them when they get back to the office. There's a reason why retention is so god awful, starting positions suck, under $20 an hour, no sick leave, no benefits, no retirement. We use to get 2 trucks in every morning, now only 1 with all of the mail slammed in it, letters literally thrown in cages, every single day we get hundreds of missent out of town packages, DeJoy could care less about the service. We see delayed mail daily, we see packages routed all over the country but not to the correct destination, we are a SERVICE not a business. They really want to save money then they need to cut all of these useless management roles, our office is smaller with only 15 routes and about 20 people, why do we need 4 managers?!
Isn't dejoy getting paid by private shipping companies to downgrade the USPS? XPO Logistics, dejoys former employer, still pays him and his family over 2 mil a year just to rent 4 office spaces. This is treasonous. Our fed govt was literally created in large part for postal services, believe it or not. Dejoy is causing issues for hundreds of millions of Americans - its criminal what he's doing - it prevents me from growing my business in several ways. These policies are preventing growth in interstate commerce - beyond criminal, it's evil.

100% USPS is overstaffed on management. Way too many managers pulling in 100K+ salaries to literally set behind a desk and monitor numbers and carriers on the street. Literally useless roles, USPS wants to cut back then leave craft alone, the ones who are actually doing the job. Go after the desk setters who do fuck all.
My friend mailed a birthday card to me on November 12th. It arrived two days ago. The carrier for my neighborhood is awesome. She takes really good care of us and we love her.
Trump appointed DeJoy, so Einstein, that makes it Trump's swamp, and you can't drain the swamp when you've just elected the swamp master himself, Donald J Trump. You can expect the mother of all swamps the next four years.
I’m Australian and I’ve visited the states dozens of times. Going into a post office in that country is a nightmare. Once we posted a rather expensive parcel from Las Vegas to Sydney australia so we paid a lot extra for the insurance. When we got our parcel months later (took ages) half of it was damaged. When we tried to collect a pay out from the insurance we found that we actually had to go back physically to the exact post office in Las Vegas in order to get it. And here we are in Sydney australia . They actually told us we had to get on a plane and return to Nevada . Unbelievable. Moral of the story is never use the United States post office again.
I'm American and I avoid the post office as much as possible. You only use the USPS if you don't care if the item gets lost (stolen) since we have a Massive Theft problem with our postal service. And just like our DMV (department of motor vehicles) is the worst ran business imaginable. It's a direct relation to how the rest of our government works
You cannot compare private models to gov operations, government does everything that is unprofitable. I don't care if there too many managers in the USPS, there's hella too many in the Pentagon.

Louis de Joy Prior to the appointment, he was the founder and CEO of the logistics and freight company New Breed Logistics and was a major Republican Party donor and ...
He acts the way he does so he can hear, see and read comments like this. The postmaster general is saying they need to cut costs or there will be no post office unless we get funding. If the government not going to get funding, then this is what we have to do to stay alive. Then Hawley disrespects him and puts on a show so you a resident of the state can say Hawley is working for me. Hawley is an actor, and he deserves an Oscar.
The post service have to balance things out the best they can. They had to do some changes which were overdue. Otherwise they run out of money. Hawley‘s voters reside in the countryside. So he wants to come over as fighting for them. Hawley is not a nice person at all. He shows no recognition for the overall issues the postmaster-general has to deal with. With Hawley it is all about MY voters come first, ME first, me first. Divide & rule. Nasty man. This way of dealing with things obviously suits Sen. Hawley‘s personality.
@@ahmadelayan2774 I respect your opinion, but I am not a resident of MO. I’ve been watching Hawley for a long time and appreciate a Senator who truly represents his constituents. Merry Christmas!
Cruz is my senator & you are right! I am SO glad Allred didn't win. What amazes me is the poor service postal srv is doing & raising the cost every chance they get. Don't add up.
Sure, tell it like it is, talk is cheap with those clowns, so cheap they lie frequently. Get real, like he's actually going to do something about it. More useless camera postering from do-nothing Hawley when he's not running away from angry mobs that he incites.
The USPS needs to be completely reorganized, upper and middle management be fired to cut costs, staff be retrained, and a new methodology and dedication to service be reinstituted. Only this will bring back the beloved USPS of old. This current USPS thinks they are doing the people a favor. And they are hell to get a package from these days. They just don't care anymore.
Everytime I get a certified letter the postman never comes to door and knock. They just put that brown slip in mailbox telling me no one home. Pick up at post office. Mail in at my home in North Texas sometimes doesn't arrive until 8pm. Express delivery overnight astronomical. I so respect Senator Hawley.
A little known trick about the signature mail. If the green receipt isn't needed, sign the slip with the address filled out. Carrier can scan that as your signature. You can have the signature mail redelivered with the instructions of scanning the slip. Also, tape the slip to the lid or cover of your mailbox. It will be delivered everytime
@@beccaburand6553 That's awesome, and my mail carrier is also a really great & dependable person. But as a whole, USPS is a very broken and convoluted system.
@@beccaburand6553 YES!.. Only in the last couple of years has there been an extreme drop-off!!... Before, my Postal delivery was 100% reliable, Rain, Shine, Tornado, or Blizzard, with a Smile on their Faces?!?!...
As a former USPS employee, the USPS is top-heavy - to rely on an age old adage: too many cheifs and not enough indians 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️. The USPS could save a TON of $$$ by cutting un-needed, non-union positions.
@RDwizzle I'm the center of my family's universe, and that's all I care about. Such a foolish take on the cirrhosis of the postal service! You assume you know a stranger on the internet, and that in itself is a joke. Your opinions, as well as everyone's here, is just that, opinion, and I am entitled to my opinion whether you agree or not. 😚
I live in GA 1 hr north of Atlanta - it takes an average of 10 to 12 days to send a letter across town - that is insane ! They recently set up a new facility in Kennesaw and it is so mismanaged that big rig mail trucks wait for hours in line to deliver to the new facility- they had no plan and no training on how to operate the new facility and ever since they made this change that was touted as a huge improvement has turned into a bureaucratic failure like no other - every step of the mail process takes much longer and delivery times take much longer - the system needs to be over hauled and competent leaders need to be put in charge - until then this mess will get worse and worse over time
I'm in Pittsburgh and wish I had a Senator that cared how bad our postal service has become. I'm old school and use money orders to pay bills. I have been charged a late fee on my credit card 4 months in a row. I send it out 10 days ahead of time and it doesn't get there for 3 weeks or longer. The last one I sent was overnight, it got there a week and a half later....another late fee. Pittsburgh to Kentucky is ridiculously late.
Sure, like he's actually going to do something about it. More useless camera postering from do-nothing Hawley, when he's not running away from angry mobs that he incites. Paying for ones stupidity and then calling it "old" school, old or new, whatever school that is certainly isn't accredited.
You are currently on the internet because you are posting on youtube....maybe pay your bills online instead of buying money orders and paying late fees just cuz' 😂
That requires making a trip to my local post office, very foolish when you can just turn on the TV and watch the mother of inefficiency and waste with these do-nothing politicians preening for the cameras.
@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time I sold an item for $300 on Marketplace and was paid with a USPS money order, my choice. I went to my closest USPS office to cash it, and the clerk looked at me with glazed eyes and said, "We don't have that much money in this branch." Keep in mind, I live in a large city. I even went to the largest branch in the city at the airport and got the same reply. When the 4th branch couldn't cash it, I asked ,"What is the point of a USPS money order when you won't/can't cash such a small amount?" The clueless clerk said, with a straight face, "That's the federal government. Welcome to the US." Let's increase, once again, the price of a stamp, as well.
@ seriously yes I have and every time I go into the UPS store they are sending things through the USPS they are connected so that’s not really competition now. Is it not when they’re working together as far as FedEx goes that’s not really competition either because they’re not doing first class mail at all they’re just doing packages so again we need an office that’s gonna handle first class mail letters, envelopes and packages and UPS if you don’t wanna pay their rate they’re gonna go ahead and slap a USPS and it goes USPS
Just like all inefficient gov entities, the uspo is the same. Always bleeding money, never re-correcting the ship, always asking for more. Typical of a gov run office.
Seven miles from our city’s post office. My mail is sent 110 miles to the state Capitol, 110 miles back to my city of 55,000 people and then delivered to my neighbor. Our post office usually has one employee at the counter, some days two. They are slow and rude. My mail often is delivered to my neighbor’s mailbox. I don’t believe Mr. DeJoy will create a plan that improves any part of the U.S. Postal Service!
this is what's going on in my State as well. Our mail is sent to our largest city, 244.7 miles, before it goes to my neighbor, I hear your frustration with the USPS. I started looking a lot closer at it after I heard the USPS would not endorse Trump. That was another red flag about USPS, for this citizen 😡
My mail will go from Dallas to Forth Worth then back in the opposite direction to me. Its iust absolutely ridiculous. Before I retired we had one postal center we called the black hole. Mail would either sit there for weeks or disappear all together..Had a customer tell me her husband was post master in their town and the USPS is the the most incompetently run business she had even seen
Post Master General Lejoy should address the serious safety, security & ID theft issues. Watch a few recent 1A audit videos, 📹 creeps who stomp into USPS locations, processing centers 📦 then scream, yell at USPS staff, workers. The USPIS know it 🕵🏻♂️ .
@@yx9811 That's exactly what he should be forced to explain in front of everyone. WHAT is he doing to justify a salary like that. I'd bet money that we wouldn't like his answer.
the US post office IS NOT supposed to make a profit.. its a GOVERNMENT system designed to make sure the CITIZENS get information in a timely matter... yes, keep costs as low as possible, but its a MUST NEED service
I thought about applying at the PO in my small town, then I read the reviews of others who have worked there and changed my mind really quick. Working conditions are awful, employees treated horribly, overworked, used, underpaid, not paid overtime hours, must be available for excessive hours around holidays or whenever they tell you to, no advancements for at least a decade. No thanks.
I am a clerk, I'd NEVER recommend working here. EVER. You'll start out as a PSE (postal support employee) in the clerk craft, no benefits, no retirement, no sick leave, every year you get put on what they call a "5 day break", that's when they literally fire you for 5 days then re-hire you to avoid you converting over to a career employee. During this time, you loose all annual leave you built up over the last year and you have to re-apply for health insurance, PSEs do get health insurance after 90 days but it's so basic you'd be better off not having it. You will work 6-7 days a week and range from 20-60 hours. When I was a PSE, they'd have me work all day long but in splits so it was 5AM-7AM, 11AM-1PM, then 3PM-5PM, 6 hours but worked all day to get it. Carriers are treated even worse also they have to travel up to 50 miles to other offices to help out daily, you use your own car, your own gas which they're suppose to pay for millage and never do. I could go on and on, , it's just a god awful place to work you dodged a bullet.
the US Post Office is the prime example of the failure of Government to provide the services it claims to provide. Government can't do ANYTHING efficiently or cheaply. So why would anyone want more of it. Those that want government healthcare should look to the US Post Office and DMVs as examples of what that experience would be like. It's not pretty
You know... if money is the problem here, I have heard that some postal workers get very very well paid. Maybe they should cut salaries? And if a problem is too many trucks running empty, then fire some drivers and sell some trucks. I think the post office just expects tax payers to bail them out every time.
Wake up! Hawley doesn’t want to fund the Postal Service properly. But he whines about an excellent plan that the Postmaster made that makes the operations more efficient and cost less. He should shut up! All he does is showboating!
I know the high up management that do nothing are all shaking in there boots as they should when DOGE comes to town. Please cut management that are overpaid
Postal Service has truly been appalling since the beginning of 2024. My postman told me they are now being paid by the piece and the hubs are holding mail to count pieces if they don't want to pay the carrier more. That's what's going on.
I called a post office here in San Antonio TX 30 times in succession up until they closed and couldn't get an answer. I started trying again the next morning an hour after they opened and again didn't get an answer. I ended up driving over 30 minutes each direction to speak face to face with someone about a missing prescription shipment. They had no idea where it was because they showed it had been delivered. I received an email response that said in part "Federal law 28 U.S.C. 2680(b) exempts the Postal Service from liability for claims arising out of the loss, miscarriage, or negligent delivery of mail matter". I canvassed the neighborhood and located the package at a neighbors home!
I live about an hour east of Asheville NC. When I order a package from Asheville it goes south to Charlotte and North East to Greensboro before circling west back to me.
Tell us exactly WHAT you believe Hawley has "shut down" since he was voted into office (just talking in a video doesn't count as real actions)! We will wait, since you have information the rest of us have NEVER SEEN from (soundbite Hawley).
I sent a package on 12/6 from VA to NJ and its currently stuck in Dallas Texas not doing anything. The fact that someone literally loaded my package onto the wrong tuck and added 3200 miles to a 500 mile journey is blowing right over the USPS employees heads. Ive called then and all they can say is " its peak season and we are busy, its a normal delay". This is not a delay, it made it to Texas in 3 days and now it says its "arriving late" "no estimated date" for arrival. Its like they don't exist in the same universe where everyone else does when any other company that takes your money for a very specific purpose and then fails to provide you that service is shut down for faud.
Mailman here...and by no means a fan of Dejoy...but just so we're clear..this entire committee grilled him to save money, just so long it doesn't effect their constituents. Sums up congress, cut as much cost as possible as long as it doesn't affect me and mine. 🙄 Talking out of both sides of their mouths.
I live in Kentucky and my post office stays open three hours!! When they done the downgrading in 2021 my Post Office went from open every day, but Sunday to opening three hours a day, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Your office is probably does so little in sales that it cannot be justified to be open any longer. The USPS cannot keep a full time worker (plus part of another worker to fill in for vacations and illness) in an office for $500 a year in sales. This is the old ideology that, due to senators like Hawley, create a massive financial drain for no benefit.
Hardly. Of all thing to get worked up over, the mail? Just tell them they get zero dollars more, from now to infinity, call me never. We don't need a government run junk mail service anymore. I can get 5 trucks of goods coming to my house delivering every day from all corners of the world for a couple dollars. Bills can be paid electronically. Communication sent electronically. I don't need anymore government supported paper junk mail. It is literally 90% of what I get in the mail box. It is like propping up the carriage and buggy business 50 years after the car was invented.
Who came up with the idea that the Post Office needs to be profitable? Does the military have to as well? It's a basic service provided by the federal government.
Why don’t you go look at his voting record instead of listening to his lies. You guys have started to take what people say over their actual actions. It’s sad.

We are one hour west of Denver in a major ski resort town. The town uses postal delivery and in our case, a PO box. Hoping to avoid any confusion we always include our PO Box as well as street address in correspondence. Packages and mail are routinely returned to sender marked “insufficient address “. Must we also draw you a map?
What is he doing? That's what you are there for ,to keep up with the changes and time's. What he said is unacceptable, and its always a money problem, that is pathetic. It's not a money problem it's a person not doing there job.
There are lots of ways to get cost down and recoup cost that is lost! They are bleeding money and when you bring it to the “supervisors” attention they don’t care, they are just worried about numbers and that is FACTS!!!!! I guarantee This man has no idea how every day operations run!
Getting rid of the discounts for China's mail importing into the country would raise all kinds of money for USPS and US based business's. It currently costs Chinese resellers less to ship from China to the US, than it does for a domestic reseller to ship. Force them to send everything via container. Get the China based reseller's out of the US ecommerce market.
I received mail 9 days after it was mailed from less than 1000 ft. Away. It usually takes 5 days. Interfering with the mail delivery is a federal crime still. Isn't it? The postmaster general should know this. 😮😮😮😮 Nevada Missouri Vernon County.
I work at USPS, we tested 5 pieces of first class mail, it came from our location to our location. 2 made it back in 3 days, 1 took 5 days, 1 took 8 days, and 1 never came back at all. DeJoy has destroyed this place.

Trump appointed DeJoy, so Einstein, that makes it Trump's swamp, and you can't drain the swamp when you've just elected the swamp master himself, Donald J Trump.
You can expect the mother of all swamps the next four years.
The swamp Trump created.
Trump put this person in office.
@@MagnesiusI saw this comment and was like uhhhhh yeah Trump appointed this guy. You beat me to it lol
@@Magnesius FYI: the postmaster general is appointed by the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service, not appointed by the president.
I’m Australian and I’ve visited the states dozens of times. Going into a post office in that country is a nightmare. Once we posted a rather expensive parcel from Las Vegas to Sydney australia so we paid a lot extra for the insurance. When we got our parcel months later (took ages) half of it was damaged. When we tried to collect a pay out from the insurance we found that we actually had to go back physically to the exact post office in Las Vegas in order to get it. And here we are in Sydney australia . They actually told us we had to get on a plane and return to Nevada . Unbelievable. Moral of the story is never use the United States post office again.
Didn't used to be that way
I'm American and I avoid the post office as much as possible. You only use the USPS if you don't care if the item gets lost (stolen) since we have a Massive Theft problem with our postal service. And just like our DMV (department of motor vehicles) is the worst ran business imaginable. It's a direct relation to how the rest of our government works
That's what happens with government organizations. As soon as the government gets involved, it turns to absolute shit.
You cannot compare private models to gov operations, government does everything that is unprofitable. I don't care if there too many managers in the USPS, there's hella too many in the Pentagon.
Use DHL next time.
Dejoy is a poster child for incompetence, but scarier than that is that this is a lifetime appointment.

Missouri is blessed to have a Senator that is working FOR them. Way to go, Senator Hawley!
He acts the way he does so he can hear, see and read comments like this. The postmaster general is saying they need to cut costs or there will be no post office unless we get funding. If the government not going to get funding, then this is what we have to do to stay alive. Then Hawley disrespects him and puts on a show so you a resident of the state can say Hawley is working for me. Hawley is an actor, and he deserves an Oscar.
The post service have to balance things out the best they can. They had to do some changes which were overdue. Otherwise they run out of money. Hawley‘s voters reside in the countryside. So he wants to come over as fighting for them. Hawley is not a nice person at all. He shows no recognition for the overall issues the postmaster-general has to deal with. With Hawley it is all about MY voters come first, ME first, me first. Divide & rule. Nasty man. This way of dealing with things obviously suits Sen. Hawley‘s personality.

Sure, tell it like it is, talk is cheap with those clowns, so cheap they lie frequently. Get real, like he's actually going to do something about it. More useless camera postering from do-nothing Hawley when he's not running away from angry mobs that he incites.
I love hearing the truth - which is hard to come by - from these Heads of Agencies.
The USPS needs to be completely reorganized, upper and middle management be fired to cut costs, staff be retrained, and a new methodology and dedication to service be reinstituted. Only this will bring back the beloved USPS of old. This current USPS thinks they are doing the people a favor. And they are hell to get a package from these days. They just don't care anymore.
Young people I've been hiring all think they are doing me a favor. I'm hiring retired people now.
If he can’t do the job, replace him…
He CAN and he IS. Let’s challenge the congressman’s understanding of the postal service. He knows nothing about how it works.
Only the board of governors can replace him
Then get it done
Trump’s administration put him in the position. Speaks to their ability to do the job.
You go Hawley!!! You are a patriot!!!
OH NO HE ISN'T! He's acting!!
My brother worked for years in an LA Hub & the stories of gross mismanagement & OVERPAID BAD MANAGERS are endless!
Everytime I get a certified letter the postman never comes to door and knock. They just put that brown slip in mailbox telling me no one home. Pick up at post office. Mail in at my home in North Texas sometimes doesn't arrive until 8pm. Express delivery overnight astronomical. I so respect Senator Hawley.
A little known trick about the signature mail. If the green receipt isn't needed, sign the slip with the address filled out. Carrier can scan that as your signature. You can have the signature mail redelivered with the instructions of scanning the slip. Also, tape the slip to the lid or cover of your mailbox.
It will be delivered everytime
The service at post offices is appalling.
Love watching Hawley and Kennedy. So smart and quick on their feet. They tell it like it is and call out the lies of all these people.
Those 2 are national treasures. We need so many more like them and fewer Pelosi and her minions

As a former USPS employee, the USPS is top-heavy - to rely on an age old adage: too many cheifs and not enough indians 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️. The USPS could save a TON of $$$ by cutting un-needed, non-union positions.
Pay our postal workers what they are worth this is the issue and discussion we need to be having. Our postal workers struggle!

I live in GA 1 hr north of Atlanta - it takes an average of 10 to 12 days to send a letter across town - that is insane ! They recently set up a new facility in Kennesaw and it is so mismanaged that big rig mail trucks wait for hours in line to deliver to the new facility- they had no plan and no training on how to operate the new facility and ever since they made this change that was touted as a huge improvement has turned into a bureaucratic failure like no other - every step of the mail process takes much longer and delivery times take much longer - the system needs to be over hauled and competent leaders need to be put in charge - until then this mess will get worse and worse over time
Nothing goes beyond 5-days????? I haven’t received a package from 5 years ago
Mail here in the Seattle area often takes 8+ days to go 10 miles.
Thank you Senator!!!!
I'm in Pittsburgh and wish I had a Senator that cared how bad our postal service has become. I'm old school and use money orders to pay bills. I have been charged a late fee on my credit card 4 months in a row. I send it out 10 days ahead of time and it doesn't get there for 3 weeks or longer. The last one I sent was overnight, it got there a week and a half later....another late fee. Pittsburgh to Kentucky is ridiculously late.
Sure, like he's actually going to do something about it. More useless camera postering from do-nothing Hawley, when he's not running away from angry mobs that he incites.
Paying for ones stupidity and then calling it "old" school, old or new, whatever school that is certainly isn't accredited.
I'm a letter carrier in the Pittsburgh region and my wife pays all of our bills online.
You are currently on the internet because you are posting on youtube....maybe pay your bills online instead of buying money orders and paying late fees just cuz' 😂
If one wants to witness the epitome of inefficiency and waste, simply look at the USPS.
Agreed. How many times have they been bailed out financially
That requires making a trip to my local post office, very foolish when you can just turn on the TV and watch the mother of inefficiency and waste with these do-nothing politicians preening for the cameras.
@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time I sold an item for $300 on Marketplace and was paid with a USPS money order, my choice. I went to my closest USPS office to cash it, and the clerk looked at me with glazed eyes and said, "We don't have that much money in this branch." Keep in mind, I live in a large city. I even went to the largest branch in the city at the airport and got the same reply. When the 4th branch couldn't cash it, I asked ,"What is the point of a USPS money order when you won't/can't cash such a small amount?" The clueless clerk said, with a straight face, "That's the federal government. Welcome to the US."
Let's increase, once again, the price of a stamp, as well.
Nothing that is managed by government is ever efficient or managed well. Look around
He could get a pay cut
It took THREE WEEKS for a birthday card to arrive in Cleveland from Pittsburgh (150 miles)!
I got a Christmas card a few years ago that was from Iowa to Georgia...no joke, it was TWO YEARS late! I kid you not!
Well, maybe we need to put another system in and make it competitive Knows it has competition maybe that’s what needs to happen
@@terinorwood1875 Seriously stupid statement, they already have competition, ever hear of FedEx and UPS?
@ seriously yes I have and every time I go into the UPS store they are sending things through the USPS they are connected so that’s not really competition now. Is it not when they’re working together as far as FedEx goes that’s not really competition either because they’re not doing first class mail at all they’re just doing packages so again we need an office that’s gonna handle first class mail letters, envelopes and packages and UPS if you don’t wanna pay their rate they’re gonna go ahead and slap a USPS and it goes USPS
3 weeks? That was extremely fast for the post office.
Just like all inefficient gov entities, the uspo is the same. Always bleeding money, never re-correcting the ship, always asking for more. Typical of a gov run office.
the post office funds itself
Seven miles from our city’s post office. My mail is sent 110 miles to the state Capitol, 110 miles back to my city of 55,000 people and then delivered to my neighbor. Our post office usually has one employee at the counter, some days two. They are slow and rude. My mail often is delivered to my neighbor’s mailbox. I don’t believe Mr. DeJoy will create a plan that improves any part of the U.S. Postal Service!
this is what's going on in my State as well. Our mail is sent to our largest city, 244.7 miles, before it goes to my neighbor, I hear your frustration with the USPS. I started looking a lot closer at it after I heard the USPS would not endorse Trump. That was another red flag about USPS, for this citizen 😡
My mail will go from Dallas to Forth Worth then back in the opposite direction to me. Its iust absolutely ridiculous. Before I retired we had one postal center we called the black hole. Mail would either sit there for weeks or disappear all together..Had a customer tell me her husband was post master in their town and the USPS is the the most incompetently run business she had even seen
He is killing the postal service!😢
Not really. The public does not use or need the services of the USPS. They never turn a profit either-how in the hell are they still operating??
It's already crappy. I receive about 20% of anything that is sent to my address via USPS.
Can send billions to other countries but can't fund our mail system. Such a scam.
There's PLENTY of money.
Billions to other countries don't matter when trump chose the Worst USPS manager ever!

the US post office IS NOT supposed to make a profit.. its a GOVERNMENT system designed to make sure the CITIZENS get information in a timely matter... yes, keep costs as low as possible, but its a MUST NEED service
Something I didn't know until working for them, the USPS isn't funded by the government at all. It isn't part of the government
@@GatheringHallit is a part of the government technically. It’s ran by governors who answer to congress
This guy stutters more than Joe Biden. He's extremely unprepared for this and very difficult to listen to.
I thought about applying at the PO in my small town, then I read the reviews of others who have worked there and changed my mind really quick. Working conditions are awful, employees treated horribly, overworked, used, underpaid, not paid overtime hours, must be available for excessive hours around holidays or whenever they tell you to, no advancements for at least a decade. No thanks.
Apply as a clerk the best job at the post office, I’m a carrier of 12years there I wish I would have!
I am a clerk, I'd NEVER recommend working here. EVER. You'll start out as a PSE (postal support employee) in the clerk craft, no benefits, no retirement, no sick leave, every year you get put on what they call a "5 day break", that's when they literally fire you for 5 days then re-hire you to avoid you converting over to a career employee. During this time, you loose all annual leave you built up over the last year and you have to re-apply for health insurance, PSEs do get health insurance after 90 days but it's so basic you'd be better off not having it. You will work 6-7 days a week and range from 20-60 hours. When I was a PSE, they'd have me work all day long but in splits so it was 5AM-7AM, 11AM-1PM, then 3PM-5PM, 6 hours but worked all day to get it. Carriers are treated even worse also they have to travel up to 50 miles to other offices to help out daily, you use your own car, your own gas which they're suppose to pay for millage and never do. I could go on and on, , it's just a god awful place to work you dodged a bullet.
smart move. I quit in '95 and it sucked then
Disgraceful... this man is not the right man for the job
He reminds me of every Brooklyn NY post office clerk I’ve ever dealt with..
It takes 10 days to get a bill payment delivered to in my own city already! And i live in the state Capitol of Florida!
😂😂😂
I live in Florida too and it’s strange to see mail being delivered on Sundays! 😳😳🙄😂I never saw that in Houston, Texas
Every heard of electronic bill pay?
A USPS employee either dropped our package worth $300 at the wrong address “but only that one” or the employee stole it… good old Augusta GA for you
Was the package insured?
I used to live in Augusta GA.. it was definitely stolen.
the US Post Office is the prime example of the failure of Government to provide the services it claims to provide. Government can't do ANYTHING efficiently or cheaply. So why would anyone want more of it. Those that want government healthcare should look to the US Post Office and DMVs as examples of what that experience would be like. It's not pretty
"Me, Myself and I" Who does our government care about?
You know... if money is the problem here, I have heard that some postal workers get very very well paid. Maybe they should cut salaries? And if a problem is too many trucks running empty, then fire some drivers and sell some trucks. I think the post office just expects tax payers to bail them out every time.
Even men who run like girls can be a stand-up dude sometimes. Thanks Hawley. I live in rural America and I appreciate him standing up for us.
Wake up! Hawley doesn’t want to fund the Postal Service properly. But he whines about an excellent plan that the Postmaster made that makes the operations more efficient and cost less. He should shut up! All he does is showboating!
No matter how many times you post this it will still be stupid
I know the high up management that do nothing are all shaking in there boots as they should when DOGE comes to town. Please cut management that are overpaid
Postal Service has truly been appalling since the beginning of 2024. My postman told me they are now being paid by the piece and the hubs are holding mail to count pieces if they don't want to pay the carrier more. That's what's going on.
All of that is incorrect.
Keep this up it's awesome keep these people and check
I called a post office here in San Antonio TX 30 times in succession up until they closed and couldn't get an answer. I started trying again the next morning an hour after they opened and again didn't get an answer. I ended up driving over 30 minutes each direction to speak face to face with someone about a missing prescription shipment. They had no idea where it was because they showed it had been delivered. I received an email response that said in part "Federal law 28 U.S.C. 2680(b) exempts the Postal Service from liability for claims arising out of the loss, miscarriage, or negligent delivery of mail matter". I canvassed the neighborhood and located the package at a neighbors home!
Same here in Virginia! You simply can't ever get a person to answer. I had to go in. My complaint was listened to but never acted on. Its bad.
My mother's prescriptions got lost too, and the post office couldn't have cared less.
I live about an hour east of Asheville NC.
When I order a package from Asheville it goes south to Charlotte and North East to Greensboro before circling west back to me.
Louis looks like an evil Bond villain.

Hawley is the ultimate shut down artist…
Tell us exactly WHAT you believe Hawley has "shut down" since he was voted into office (just talking in a video doesn't count as real actions)! We will wait, since you have information the rest of us have NEVER SEEN from (soundbite Hawley).
I sent a package on 12/6 from VA to NJ and its currently stuck in Dallas Texas not doing anything. The fact that someone literally loaded my package onto the wrong tuck and added 3200 miles to a 500 mile journey is blowing right over the USPS employees heads. Ive called then and all they can say is " its peak season and we are busy, its a normal delay". This is not a delay, it made it to Texas in 3 days and now it says its "arriving late" "no estimated date" for arrival. Its like they don't exist in the same universe where everyone else does when any other company that takes your money for a very specific purpose and then fails to provide you that service is shut down for faud.
ahhh forgot about him...dismantling the PO.... still at it
Mailman here...and by no means a fan of Dejoy...but just so we're clear..this entire committee grilled him to save money, just so long it doesn't effect their constituents. Sums up congress, cut as much cost as possible as long as it doesn't affect me and mine. 🙄 Talking out of both sides of their mouths.
I live in Kentucky and my post office stays open three hours!! When they done the downgrading in 2021 my Post Office went from open every day, but Sunday to opening three hours a day, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
3 hours a day?! That's ridiculous and just sad. Sorry that you have to deal with that
And nobody is going to bust their ass working when they just work a little 3-hour a day job.
Your office is probably does so little in sales that it cannot be justified to be open any longer. The USPS cannot keep a full time worker (plus part of another worker to fill in for vacations and illness) in an office for $500 a year in sales. This is the old ideology that, due to senators like Hawley, create a massive financial drain for no benefit.
Hawley the goat
dpellek only if you mean greatest of all time.
Hardly. Of all thing to get worked up over, the mail? Just tell them they get zero dollars more, from now to infinity, call me never. We don't need a government run junk mail service anymore. I can get 5 trucks of goods coming to my house delivering every day from all corners of the world for a couple dollars. Bills can be paid electronically. Communication sent electronically. I don't need anymore government supported paper junk mail. It is literally 90% of what I get in the mail box. It is like propping up the carriage and buggy business 50 years after the car was invented.
First thing stop the Pensions on a go forward basis.
Who came up with the idea that the Post Office needs to be profitable? Does the military have to as well? It's a basic service provided by the federal government.
Clean out the postal service. Thank you Senator Hawley for fighting for the people’s of Missouri.
