March 25 Postal Announcement

2011-03-25T09:23:00.000-07:00

This post is courtesy of The Postal Newsgroup

The highly anticipated March 25 USPS announcement is referenced below as found on the USPS' website. The largest majority of the information was put out yesterday (March 24, 2011) detailing the district closings, the Voluntary Early Retirement (VER), The financial incentive programs being offered to eligible career non-bargaining employees in targeted groups at Headquarters, Headquarters-related Field Units, Area Offices and Customer Service District Offices (Administrative). However, the additional information provided in the following announcement that stands out boldly is 'additional staff reductions will occur as the Postal Service makes necessary changes to its network and retail operations. The full scope and financial impact of these personnel actions should be realized in one calendar year — by March 2012.' Read below to see the official release. Stay tuned and we will provide further internal information as it trickles out.

March 25 Postal Announcement

The Announcement
PMG ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF SEVEN DISTRICTS
I am confident we have developed a strong plan that takes a key step toward a leaner and less bureaucratic structure.

As part of the ongoing redesign of the Postal Service, PMG Pat Donahoe yesterday announced USPS will close 7 of its 74 district offices. This reflects continuing alignments within the organization to achieve core business strategies and, when fully implemented, will help realize approximately $750 million of annual cost savings (Link Extra, 3/23).

The district offices scheduled for closure — Columbus, OH, (Eastern Area); Southeast Michigan in Troy, MI, and Northern Illinois in Carol Stream, IL (Great Lakes Area); Southeast New England in Providence, RI (Northeast Area); South Georgia in Macon, GA, and Albuquerque in Albuquerque, NM (Southwest Area); and Big Sky in Billings, MT (Western Area) — house only administrative functions that will be assumed by surrounding district offices. The closures will not affect customer service, mail delivery, Post Office operations or ZIP codes.

“I am confident we have developed a strong plan that takes a key step toward a leaner and less bureaucratic structure. One that is fair to our employees and one that will meet the future needs of our customers and the mailing industry,” said Donahoe.

This organizational redesign builds on previous PMG announcements that include a 16 percent reduction in officer ranks, realigning revenue-generating business units, closing the Southeast Area Office, and further reducing the employee complement by about 7,500 positions.

While yesterday’s announcement focused on the administrative and executive corps, additional staff reductions will occur as the Postal Service makes necessary changes to its network and retail operations. The full scope and financial impact of these personnel actions should be realized in one calendar year — by March 2012.

Sample examinations for postal positions

2008-07-02T01:00:00.000-07:00

Note: this site is not affiliated with the Postal Service, we are simply pointing you to the links they offer to assist you in seeking postal employment.
The Postal Service offers examination information to assist you in the examination process:
Click here to see what the actual entry-level battery 473 covers . . .

In the actual test 473, the examiner provides instructions for completing each part. You must work on one part of test 473 at a time. If you finish a part of the test before time is called, you are not allowed to proceed to another part of the test or return to a part of the test you previously completed.

The Postal Service warns about scams relative to postal exams.
You never have to pay for information about job vacancies or employment opportunities with the Postal Service!

But scam artists are victimizing people by selling information about federal job opportunities. They advertise in classified sections of newspapers and offer - for a fee - to help job seekers find and apply for federal jobs. Some even try to confuse consumers with names similar to federal agencies, such as US Agency for Career Advancement or the Postal Employment Service.

These scam artists may also lie about the availability of federal job openings. If someone alerts you to a Postal Service job, check with the local Postal Service facility or on the Internet at www.usps.com/employment to determine whether or not a job is available and an exam is required for eligibility.

The Postal Service does not charge application fees or guarantee employment.
Don't fall for these rip-offs
