Ok I do blame carriers that falsify nobody home and place that in mailbox as I watch them do that. I met with PM and carrier happened to be there. Carrier confirmed falsifying the note. My neighborhood routinely exchanges mail properly and legibly labeled that are delivered to wrong addresses. I don't care who delivers but expect whoever it is to do their job.
Tracking is nice but if NOBODY tracks the package to insure it is transported as addressed, what's the point. I recently had an overnight to Philly stay in their main dist center on a shelf for 3 days past the delivery date. Why? Its a freaking overnight package containing extremely serious sensitive personal financial information which was reason for overnight signature required. Fortunately I sent it from another PO since I didn't trust mine. This PM called the dist center manager and told him to find it while she waited on phone. Found it. Oops, will be sent ASAP. It took a PM out if a very small PO to kick another managers butt to get a HIGH PRIORITY OVERNIGHT mail to be delivered? It was scanned EVERY day on that shelf. This was simply I don't give a incident prevalent in USPS. This happens far to frequently to be considered an anomaly of a "well run organization".
My USPS route averaged 5/6 days delivery due to local PO failing miserably at route management. I have discussed this repeatedly with PM to no avail. You either have to change people or you change people. The USPS will NEVER run efficiently with standard bureaucracy as the operating model. Its the epitome of a good old boy network. Local PO's are prob on same bowling team after work which results in colossal daytime office management failure.
I worked at one time for one of the largest UPS hubs and if you had too many sort errors you were placed on improvement plan. If you didn't improve you were moved to lesser job. I will bet you this NEVER happens in the USPS hubs!
The bottom line is being carrier is NO different than any other job, just do it. And therein lies the problem, no accountability by anyone in USPS management. No company can function under the USPS model of INEFFICIENCY.
When you are in management, people decisions can either bring success or failure to an organization.
