DeJoy is incompetent. Why can't someone be fired for incompetence?

[Baitball Blogger]

I saw it at Christmas time. Two Christmas cards I sent to people who have lived in their homes for more than a decade, didn't receive their cards on time. One came back claiming that there was no such address and the time had lapsed for a forwarding.

Guess what? There was nothing wrong with the address. I put the Christmas card in a 5x7 manila folder and wrote down the same address. It reached its destination the second time. The Post Office owes me a Forever Stamp.

How many people are not receiving important letters, because of De Joy?

The second card was returned because the Post Office delivery had lost their personal touch. This was an address in Alabama. The recipient lives off a main road. His street is short and only has two homesteads. The extended family owns both of them. The house in the front had the address name of the main street. The house in the back had the name of the side street. The letters always came to the recipient, no matter where they were addressed. It would have been a simple thing to "forward" it next door for any post delivery man. Yet, it was returned.

De Joy is destroying the efficiency of delivery. He is intentionally driving the US Post Office into the ground. All the problems can be blamed on one man's leadership. So why is he still there?

1. We wish it was only "incompetence"...

It's not incompetence, it is willful evil intent to destroy the USPS.

3. But you can't point out to the fact that he's doing something partisan.

That's political. Incompetence, however, transcends politics.

It's a business requirement that people at the helm of their departments act in a competent way.

17. This!👆

2. Every time I see dejoys smug face I'd like to slap it.

4. Republicans don't fire for incompetence.

It would be the thin end of the wedge leading to the end of the world as they know it.

[Yeehah]

5. Because corrupt republicans on the governing board will not fire a corrupt republican

If Biden's nominees for the board are approved by the Senate, rational and honest people will once again hold a majority and DeJoy can be fired.

[MineralMan]

6. The question is: Who has the power to fire him?

I believe that is the USPS Board of Directors.

8. I don't doubt that Biden is handling it in the only way it can be done.

I just think that DeJoy's mishandling of the Post Office is so blatantly bad by any business expectation, that this should be easier to do.

7. Biden just appointed three new members to the PO board of governors which...

now gives Dem appointees the majority. DeJoy won't be there for long. Ya gotta know how to work it, and Joe knows as he's been in government for decades. Give him time to get everything in place.

9. Well, if he needs testimonials from the public, I'll be happy to share my experiences.

10. would love to see him in jail wearing prison orange .

[Goodheart]

11. He's not incompetent, he's corrupt.

12. He reporta to a board packed by Trumpers (for now)

Biden just fixed that by appointing 3 new people to unpack it. Not sure how long it takes to take their first vote.

[Hortensis]

15. Yes, but to START unpacking it. DeJoy will still have majority support.

For now. Probably requiring work arounds. Until.

[Hekate]

13. DeJoy is NOT "incompetent." He is doing exactly what Trump hired him to do: destroy the Post Office

....Destroy the Post Office for fun and profit.

And since it is something DeJoy has always wanted to do anyway, it is a win-win for all the bastards who hate the federal government. Please recognize the source of his behavior.

21. Right on the mark! DeJoy is very competent at sabotage.

16. Wait a while, republicans will blame Biden for dejoy.

[Baitball Blogger]

19. Nothing sounds ridiculous any more.

[spanone]

22. Agreed

[c-rational]

20. Two out of six bills I mailed out in January were not received. Yes, Dejoy is ruining our trust in

the USPS and more should be alarmed. If I recall correctly from this site, the USPS was written into the Constitution. It is IMO a great equalizer and helps hold the fabric of our society together. These reThugs are still using the old playbook to get rid of any government institution that works - drown it, i.e starve it - whether it be the Post Office rules on their pension fund, SS or Medicare.

23. Why can't he be prosecuted for lying to Congress?

[Demsrule86]

24. The board could fire DeJoye but it has a majority of GOP...Biden adding members.

25. Yesterday I received a Christmas card

from TX. I live in NM. The stamp was not cancelled. I received a birthday card, 7 days late, from my brother, who lives in a city within my own state and its stamp was also not cancelled. I also received word from a friend in HI who had the Christmas card she sent to me returned to her
