Keaau PO - If You’re Part Of The Problem...
#24
The situation at the Keauu Post Office far predates DeJoy and the Amazon changes.

That's been my experience as well.


Please have some compassion for the people whose job responsibilities (and stresses brought on by the pandemic) have only increased over time with no corresponding increase in pay.

What additional responsibilities would that be?  They still sell stamps, ship boxes, and look for boxes in the back when we pick up.  With only two people allowed in the lobby at a time, and if they each wear a mask without incident, what additional stresses do workers have?  Workers punch in at the same time every morning, punch out at the same time after their shift.  What I observe is that their job has never changed no matter how long people stand in line outside.  Have you ever seen a Keaau Post Office employee speed up when the line outside loops around the building and reaches the back fence?  Every time I've been there it's steady as she goes, in first gear.  It doesn't seem to occur to them that if they picked up the pace even a little their customers would accomplish their business in less time.  And talk about stresses brought on by the pandemic, what about lining up postal patrons in a linear COVID cluster for extended periods of time, the length of exposure determined by one factor, the PO desk clerk.  To improve on that situation post office clerks would have to work faster, even a little faster - - but what's their incentive?  They punch in, punch out, get paid the same whether we're in line for 30 minutes, or an hour and a half.  

If I worked at their pace, I would have put myself out of business long ago.  If I worked at their pace I would have considered it a paid vacation.
