That is one of the problems with the Post Office. They have gotten rid of over 200,000 career employees and replaced many of them with temporary help. The temps get a decent hourly wage, but there aren't any benefits, and no seniority, retirement etc. Most of the temps are OK but a lot of them aren't. The USPS is planning on dropping over 200,000 more jobs in the next 3-4 years so it will only get worse. In the next two years 13000 Postmasters will lose their jobs and they will be replaced by temporary help that works 2 to 6 hours a day. Their supervisors will be located in offices 10-20 miles away, so look for things to be interesting if you live in a small town.
