USPS isn't all sunshine and rainbows. I know multiple regional managers and local district managers as well as post masters. It's a very tough demanding and long job.

A single delivery driver can deliver 630am till 1030pm and still not have all the mail out. While head quarters will deny adding drivers to routes or changing anything to ease the loads.

Don't get me started on mentioning package theft, insurance claims, and other related issues.
