    Are you kidding me? Seriously? be grateful? I keep reading these posts on the net...telling us to "be grateful....be Glad you got a job!" And i got to say folks...thats exactly the kind of attitude the USPS hopes you have...they HOPE you will blindly accept district edits...Blindly accept the lose of thousands of dollars a year that you are ENTITLED to under the contract the UNION...and the PO accepted and adopted.

    Being Grateful is a misnomer folks...its not gratitude that earns you your paycheck...its a American Institution called WORK! Gratitude has nothing to do with it. You should be GRATEFUL when a stranger stops you on the street to deliver a compliment...or a freind does a good deed for you...When you get up every morning..regardless of how you feel..or what you WANT to do and choose to do a job...gratitude ENDS. It amazes me that the concept of a FAIR days pay for HONEST days work eludes not only the business model of the Post Office..but also the majority it appears of our craft.

    I know the economy sucks...theres no doubt..thats a fact...but lets face it..there are industries that have mis-managed for years...and have fallen by the wayside as a result. The postal service perhaps falls under this category as well...trade offs for discounts for mailers...reduced rates...etc....But those failures are not the making of me nor any of you. Do you really wish to contribute to their being able to continue those trends? The way things are looking...IM gonna be really grateful if all you grateful regulars dont screw me royally out a job. Being an RCA i understand that my gratitude should be directed at having a regular who knows her rights~~~ AND WILL FIGHT FOR THEM . So you all who meekly follow and accept...and wont stand for yourselfs...THANKS!!! Your Gratitude and inability to grow a freakin backbone is killing my bottom line here...and cutting your own throat when you are grateful and subless.

    * this blog written to incite uproar...it was the intention of the author to piss some folks off...so have at it.

    sorry guys..I know not all of you bend over and take it..but the "Im not fighting nothing cause im sooo grateful" thing is really rubbing me wrong today. Im really glad some people can have such an optomistic outlook on life..dont get me wrong..but dont tell me that those of us that try to improve things and maintain at the very least are whiny...or bitter...thats just WRONG at every fundemental level i can think of.



    If you cant stand up for yourselves...dont expect anyone to do it for you.NOT your union...nor your PM ...nor anyone else

    I am disappointed, Beth. Your blog was intended to incite uproar. Where are these postal peeps? Okay, I AM grateful to have a job away from the Postal Circus! But, to be honest, we really should be grateful to have jobs in this economy. Most of my offline friend are nerdy Jews with college degrees that have been laid-off.

    However, no one should be grateful towards Postal sodomy.

    According to the messiah Obama and PMG JackPot, it is "the economy" that is hurting businesses. Not totally true!! Whether it is the USPS or Fred's Barber Shop - it is the amount of debt and wasteful spending accrued by those businesses effected. Businesses that did not overspend are doing very well in this economy.
