    Honestly, I love postal workers. Anywhere I have ever lived, I always make it a point to say hello to my mail carrier and know their name and smile at them and introduce myself. At Christmas, I give them 50 gift cards and on Halloween, I tape bags of candy to my mailbox for them to enjoy. During the hot months, I leave drinks in a cooler outside with a sign for them to take one. They work so freaking hard, in brutal conditions sometimes and are often overlooked or underappreciated. To hear that they are not getting paid because of a hack is awful! I hope it is resolved soon and they are paid what they are owed.

      That's not true. You're talking about an Emergency Salary Advance. According to Handbook F-101, an Emergency Salary Advance is authorized only if the original method of the salary payment was a postal check. This news article is specifically talking about direct deposits. The Handbook F-101 prohibits supervision from issuing Emergency Salary Advances for direct deposits. A grievance wouldn't do a thing.

How is this happening?! There HAS to be something that can be done to get them the money they are owed! You don’t pay me for 3 weeks, I ain’t ever coming in again!

Years ago it was advised to save up 90 days worth of expenses, I think minimum of 6 months expenses is necessary. I had to work over time but did just that.

It is sad what my father went through working at the USPS and iv heard horror stories about what other people go through. This honestly doesn't surprise me though. It is sad cuz when I have a gov job it's supposed to be secure but in fact the workers r treated like garbage and it is bureaucratic bs. I hope they get this fixed but I see one day where they won't be able to get people to work for them anymore and the ones that do will leave cuz of the horrendous treatments be the higher ups.

    This is unfortunate. It sounds like an employee clicked a malicious link likely sent through an email and was redirected to a fraudulent website here they put in their credentials which were stolen. That’s why it’s so important to NEVER click on links in emails, texts messaging apps, on message boards or from any where.
    The person who clicked on the link definitely should be disciplined, all employees trained on cyber security safety. In the meantime, this lady is going to have to wait like everybody else.

    I've generally been a big supporter of the USPS but as of the last several months, 4 packages have been misdelivered and two of those brought to me from random people in my neighborhood. I've also gotten packages from other addresses. Filing claims is a waste or time and the 1800 number is hours of my life wasted. It's clear my local post could give two effs. I avoid buying from any seller that ships via the post office at this point because 9/10 my packages are lost upon delivery. Pathetic.

    This is what happens when the US government allows critical IT functions to be outsourced to India. This shit started occurring right after they started the H1 Visa program and American companys started laying off their entire IT Departments, and the government and these tech companies had the audacity to lie and say that there were no Americans that could do the job so they had to hire underpaid Indian workers to come in and do it. They immediately started losing customer data having their computer systems compromised anybody remember Sony and British Airways yeah the lie was all we don't know what happened they knew exactly what happened

    My local postal office hits me with a busy signal after being on hold for 2 minutes. I've never gotten them on the phone. It's been a week. I've been calling since last week! I'm going to see those lazy turds in person. I'm disabled and will have to pay Lyft for transportation and I'm probably gonna be a Karen about it.
