Always plenty of money available for war in the Middle East. But reliable mail? Can’t have that.
Major changes: Get rid of junk mail. Sure it's the majority of their income, but it's the majority of the work they do too. And I fucking hate getting trash sent to my mailbox. It's disgusting. So, with the reduced load, make deliveries 3 times a week. Anything really time sensitive has other options. There. It would take a pretty significant restructuring, but the other option seems to be a slow death and I think the Postal Service is too incredibly important to let that happen.
I’d like to piggyback off this and say that this would be a prime organization to trial 24/32hr work weeks as full-time. The folks who want or need 40-60hr weeks would receive appropriate compensation while those that want free time will obviously have more.
Don’t have crippling debt if you can’t receive the notice…
(Telephones don’t exist in my world.)
