Loading ...USPS signs cost cutting deal with Doge Team — 10,000 workers to be laid off.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told congressional leaders in a letter that he had signed an agreement with Elon Musk’s DOGE to cut jobs and spending at the agency that has long since lost money.
DeJoy said the organization has spent the last four years transforming from a “battered government bureaucracy” that experienced financial losses into a higher quality service, but it is still not achieving its goals.
“Last night I signed an agreement with the General Services Administration and DOGE representatives to assist us in identifying and achieving further efficiencies,” DeJoy said. “This is an effort aligned with our efforts, as while we have accomplished a great deal, there is much more to be done. We are happy to have others assist us in our worthwhile cause.”
The postmaster general said the service plans to reduce its workforce by 10,000 workers within the next month through a voluntary early retirement program.

Agree. A hiring freeze should be part of the plan. Other than a certain basic minimum force to cover the required home delivery, the number of people processing mail and supporting the operation should be cut dramatically, given the dramatic drop in mail volumes over the last few years. Most people do everthing online and electronically. I haven’t stepped foot in a Post Office nor bought stamps in years and I am an old geezer.
