USPS Implements Phase Two of Outsourcing Injured on Duty Employees
The U.S. Postal Service’s National Reassessment Process (NPR) is “a program focused on reviewing all rehabilitation and limited duty assignments.” The process addresses injured on duty postal employees who have “reached maximum medical improvement or where their condition has been ruled permanent.” If the Postal Service is unable to find work for injured on duty employees, they will be referred to OWCP for possible placement in the Vocational Rehabilitation Program.
In a memo released by Susan Carney, National APWU Human Relations Director on March 2, she reports:
“On February 28th, the Postal Service notified the APWU that they are ready to implement Phase 2 of the National Reassessment Process (NRP) in two USPS Districts.” (Implementation started in the Dakotas District on March 6th and in the New Hampshire/Vermont District on March 13th).
“The Postal Service advises that no other Districts have been approved for Phase 2 at this time. However, we expect that other Districts will soon be approved to proceed with Phase 2. There is no established District by District schedule. Districts will be approved for Phase 2 when USPS Headquarters confirms that they have completely and accurately completed Phase 1.”
“Phase 2 process is broken into three phases: the “Search Process”, the “Job Offer Process”, and the ‘No Work Available (NWA) Process”.
“… this entire Phase 2 process is very structured and the interviews are thoroughly scripted. Also included are the form letters which are supposed to be used.”
“I would also like to inform you that a national level grievance has been filed. Regarding the manner in which the Postal Service is making these rehabilitation assignments, they state that the assignments are being made on a random basis.”
“The APWU believes that such a random process is inconsistent with the contractual requirement to use seniority as a guide for filling assignments.”

THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCAM POSTAL MGMNT HAS COME UP WITH YET. THEY ARE GOING TO DISREGARD THE ADA AND REHAB ACT OF 1973 AND CUT CUT CUT. ALL THAT MATTERS IS GETTING THEIR BONUS BIGGER AND BIGGER!! CAN YOU SPELL EEO $$$$$$$$$$? THIS SHOULD COST THE PO MILLIONS WHEN THEY ALL HIT THE COURTS!!!!!
March 27th, 2007 at 10:17 am
Fred, the end is near! The scam run is over. Retire or be fired.
March 27th, 2007 at 10:47 am
Let’s see, the PO is reviewing and reassessing all rehab and limited duty employees yet this is a scam. What scam? Or is it the PO is trying to resolve some of the gold brickers who are scamming the USPS to work as little as possible.
March 27th, 2007 at 11:33 am
If 98% of the IODs were not a fraud there would be too few to mess with. Decades late beginning this program.
March 27th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
There are a lot of scammers out there. You ‘work’ for many of them. Some of them get on the gravy train on their 91st day and figure this is the way to the ‘good life’ for themselves. I believe their restrictions are dictated by themselves to their doctors and they are backed up by those same doctors who don’t wish to be sued for malpractice in case they’re wrong!
March 27th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
It’s an aging workforce and some of the work is very physical.People are going to get hurt when they are treated like robots. The post office has done nothing to prevent repeative motion injures. Yes there are a lot of injured employees and yes some of them have milked it for years. Your hatred of these people is unreal.
March 27th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
What’s unreal is the people sitting around answering a telephone while others carry their load. You can only nurse a scrapped elbow so long
March 27th, 2007 at 5:34 pm
JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE IS CHEAP. SO IT SEEMS SOME OF YOU NEED TO DUE A LITTLE BIT MORE HOME WORK.
TIP: WHAT IS DISABILITY BASE DISCRIMINATION???
TIP: WHAT ARE THE CODES OF FEDERAL REGULATION???
TIP: WHAT IS THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEE
COMPENSATION ACT (AKA FECA) ???
MEMO: NOT A THING IS THE WORST YOU CAN DO ABOUT YOUR ISSUES. GET THE ANSWERS AND HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS.
March 28th, 2007 at 3:36 pm
Look folks do get hurt. But if you can’t get better, get the HECK OUT!
March 28th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
It’s always amazing to watch people talk smack about OTHER people, but of course as anyone with a clue knows, all it takes is one improper bend, to effectively end your physical health.
A friend of mine about 4 years ago Always crapped on people on Limited/Light Duty or other injuries, relentlessly berating, you know, a good republican. Yet bending over to pick up a pencil on the floor ended his postal career.
I don’t do religion, but didn’t somebody say “there but for the grace of God go I” But I’m sure it couldn’t happen to you , right?

remove light duty / rehab…..
I have not been light duty for 35 years..
Light duty and rehab that is not true…it is faking… I am tired of people who complian /
crying / dont want that job / overtime / file grevance / many things do to…/ my words is no excuse for that ,, do you want the job ,, if they dont like ,, then go home and be quite… it is goverment job ….
March 29th, 2007 at 8:30 am
People do legitimately get hurt but milking bullshit injuries runs rampant in the PO. If anybody should get fired it’s the shitbirds who milk light duty for years and then when it looks like they might get shipped out they have a “miraculous” recovery and can work again.
March 29th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
wHERE’D YOU GIT YER BOOK LERNIN’? Maybe you should’ve paid attention then and now to the reality of it all.
March 29th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
It doesn’t do any good to tell people that someday they might be hurt. It doesn’t do any good to tell people who are hurt that they have no value. If the management had their shit together, all injured employees would either get better, be retrained or retired. The law is Federal. The system is broken but its been decades since anyone even looked at these issues of law. The OWCP program is dirt cheap and it isn’t really costing the PO that much either. So it doesn’t do any good to vent here, nobody cares and most of this work is headed for automated processes anyway. So waaah to all you people who think its okay to treat someone badly because they are a goldbrick. I have worked with plenty of “healthy” employees who aren’t worth a damn either. Stop pointing fingers and think about how to move on already, because it will change at the same rate as molasses flowing in January.
April 1st, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Craig, is my buddy, we work together, and he is right. Send these fakers packing!
April 2nd, 2007 at 2:49 am
Aug-2007 will be 23 years I been working for usps
I have worked every clerk job in Mail processing that was the first 15 years & some aren’t there anymore because of automation. I’ve had 3 on the job injuries.
I’d been working 3 years when I got 1st injury in 1988 another employee didn’t close the equipment correctly & It fell on my back when i was bended over to pick up trash. I was on limited duty for a month.
I got my 2nd injury in 1998 working as a window clerk. I was putting a very fragile package in a empty hamper while the customer was watching me she told me do not throw it and the way the set up was I to short to place it inside without it sounding like i dropped. My back popped and was on limited duty for 3 months. MY duties as a window clerk was standing the entire tour.
I got my second injury in 2004 working the window by myself with a line of customers upset I was working on a customer with 5-6 huge and heavy packages weighing from 57-69lbs. Because of my height and not having any leverage I had a hard time with them taking them off the counter and walking the around the corner. I was getting upset because a customer was cussing and want me to get the postmaster. I went to managers office told him I need help and that the customers are cussing at me. I hurried baxk to window. Told them a manager is coming out. a few minutes went by and no one came out. I went back to his pffice and no one was there My neck was starting to hurt. I thought it was because I was stressing out myself. I was afaid to leave the window again because they would get really mad. The guy that was really mad cussing & hit his fist on the table & threaten me to go get the postmaster or else. I went back to managers office told him I wasn’t not going back to the window till he comes out. And I sat down. Well it wasn’t stress that made my neck hurt I got injured And got approved for surgery 6 months later and here I am. Because owcp took to long to get my surgery the surgeon said I have peermanent nerve damage. I can do window work but i can’t lift anything over my shoulders or pull or push anything over 20lbs and my hand was affected also and at times my hand get paralzed.
Now I know some people that get hurt at work are able to return to reg duties but don’t . I seen a girl on limited duty that hurt her back ( at a bar)I had to go pick up my son from a bar he hangs out at because he was to drunk to drive I told him no mater what call me when your out drinking I’ll come get you. I saw her drinking dancing and doing things she isn’t suppose to be able to do. I wanted to kick her butt because Here I am can’t do the things I used to do and here she is faking her injury. And all she is able to do at work is answer phone and help management out with paper work.
I don’t think it’s right to get rid of rehab/limited duty Because most oji are because of management not doing their job. Check it out and find out how and why someone got hurt.
April 2nd, 2007 at 3:31 am
Judging by your post, I’d say you have some kind of brain injury!
April 2nd, 2007 at 1:41 pm
This is another situation of in every situation there is good and bad and rights and wrongs. Who really cares about the opioions of others, not me. I know my injury is real my MRI saids so my Xrays saids so and the pain i go through saids so too. Who are you to judge? God will judge you in the same vain the you judge others. If’s it’s not real in time it would be revealed. And if it’s so than you all need to let it go. Would you be saying the same if it was you, your mother, father, sister, brother or child. So often things have a way off bitting you in the a–. Be careful of what you say, it could be you next.
April 2nd, 2007 at 2:24 pm
Andrea, you are a scammer! If you were hurt that bad, you would take a disability. You do not…why?…..because until the NRP catches your lazy ass, you have been able to sit and do nothing, for 40 hours a week(more if you want)–but that is going to change! NRP is coming baby, you better come clean, and get back to your job!
April 2nd, 2007 at 8:52 pm
po is gonna get sued for breaking federal laws and the po will loose terribly.the po has corrupted itself .smell the $…
April 3rd, 2007 at 8:55 am
The post office is right, in wanting to get rid of all of the dead weight! They should have done this a long time ago. They will not get sued. And in the animal kingdom, the strongest survive.
April 3rd, 2007 at 9:43 am
I’m worried that a lot of the injured clerks will be given carrier jobs and if they get to keep their senority I’m afraid I’ll never get a decent route of my own.
April 3rd, 2007 at 3:25 pm
what’s next?
April 3rd, 2007 at 6:27 pm
1buc mark my words as God be my witness what goes around comes back to you, you’re next to get injured and let me see if sing the same song.
everyone has there own situation when i go on disability is totallly up to me and there is nothing you can do about but talk junk because you have not been injured yet. Your day is soon coming mark my words, scammer is not who or what i am you can call me what ever name you chose too, but you or this NRP can’t change my injury. Ignorence have always been bliss, the way you speak i can tell. so because you all with the dumm comment have not been injured you see it your way but baby your and they day is comming soon and on this blog you will not be. call me lazy, a scammer, or whatever you chose you still can’t change my x rays my MRI or my upcoming surgery, again ignorence is bliss
April 3rd, 2007 at 6:36 pm
1buc i get it now you don’t have a life so you speak from your behind, forgive me for even answering you i must have been temporarily out of my mind. But i’m back your negitivty indcates your out take on life and human situations only the fakers knows who they are and the others know who they are who cares what your ignorate butt thinks again ingorence is bliss i won’t answer you again
April 4th, 2007 at 6:36 am
Yes injury do occur daily, but why should non injured employees be replaced by injured employees just because you are injured. It took senority to get a job and placement in the postal service. Yet when you are injured you replace a good person who deserve to be where they are, worked hard to get there, did their tour of duty and yet you come along and pop they are gone. Something is wrong with the picture. Why are window clerks being replaced by carriers who can’t do their job and can’t technical do the window job neither. Limited lifting.
April 4th, 2007 at 10:40 am
1 buc says, I dont care just find another job.
April 4th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Goofy Andrea–you can tell by the way I speak, I am ignorant, huh? Ha!!— Judging by the way you write, you are either a drunk, or a crackhead, or maybe both! Or maybe you are just so “injured” that it is the medications! Fire up your crack pipe, and get back to what you do best, which is nothing!–You are a scammer!
April 4th, 2007 at 8:55 pm
me iod.seriously hurt for lif..luv rehab ,bite me …..
April 5th, 2007 at 12:05 pm
I have a confession to make. I am an IOD but my injury was real not like most of you fakers, so buz off.
April 5th, 2007 at 12:22 pm
I do not see that idiot, Craig, posting on this site anymore!
April 5th, 2007 at 3:10 pm
I cannot believe the stuff I have read here. It is pathetic. I would love to believe that management is writing all this stuff, but I know they are not. Instead, they have turned us against one another.
Craft workers make derogatory comments to the IODs all the time. Management has convinced everyone to do their dirty work for them. Some IODs are going to end up filing discimination complaints, but it won’t be management that gets in trouble. Management will sacrifice all of its little lambs to save their own skins. Then when craft workers lose their jobs because they violated the anti- discrimination laws, the IODs will be blamed again and management will be sitting back happily smiling because they have already trained more sheep to do their dirty work for them.
But I have a question. Everyone bad mouths the IODs. The IODs are lazy, shiftless, getting a paycheck for not working. But why is it only the IODs? The IODs got injured and many want to keep working to the best of their abilities, instead of sitting home collecting a check for doing nothing. But what about the ones who have Permanent Light Duty Bids for non work related illnesses and injuries?
Why should someone who has a Psychiatric problem be allowed to wonder about and not do any work because Management doesn’t want to upset them? Or how about the one who’s boyfriend beat her up 15 yrs ago, so she needs to stay on Permanent Light Duty for the rest of her life to overcome her trauma? Or the guy who has a genetic predisposition to pain in his back if he does anything that he doesn’t want to do?
Why aren’t they being persecuted the way the IODs are being Persecuted? Is it so wrong for a person who suffered an injury that is going to partially disable them for the rest of their life to want to work when they see the Post Office giving Permenant Light Duty Bids to people who have non work related issues?
We have a lot of problems, but it is not just the IODs. The sheep that blindly do managements dirty bidding is the worst of our problems. Allowing management, and even the union at times, to pit us against one another is our downfall.
Evenetually the IODs will be gone. Then who are you going to pick on? Management has already decimated the number of bids in most facilities. The supervisors are doing the craft work to get bigger bonuses, and we are letting them do it. They say they have to do the work because the lazy IODs aren’t doing it.
How many of you are pulling/ pushing 2 postcons at a time? How many of you carry 3 or 4 trays at a time. Your supervisors really love you. They even let you go out for an extra smoke or just take an extra five minutes on your break sometimes.
But look around you. Think of all the people you use to work with. Where are they now? How many are gone because they called in sick one to many times? Do you remember back when management had us all hating people who called in sick? We would have to work the holidays and forced overtime if people called in sick. We turned on our friends, our families, and our plain old co-workers if they called in. We hated them and let them know, just like we are doing to the IODs now. We got rid of them. They were tossed out the door.
But what happened to their bids? The IODs don’t have those bids. They are Rehab or unencombered. So where are all those bids?
Management decimated the roles. They abolished bids, they cut the number of bids in each section. Do you remember when there would be 2 people on each machine and a couple of floats to cover for breaks or help on the really heavy runs? How many people are working a machine now? I have actually seen DBCSs run by one person.
Having enough people to do the work didn’t stop because of the IODS. It didn’t stop because of people calling in sick. It stopped because management wanted bigger bonuses.
Plain and simple, all this just comes down to managements bonuses.Let’s see how many people can understand basic math.
X =Increased numbers of mail
y = Decreased number of employees running machines.
x + y = Z
Z = bigger bonuses for the supervisors and managers.
My advice is to read the Federal Times July 2006 issue instead of complaining about your co-workers. IODs aren’t giving you more work to do. If you have half a brain you should be able to see X+Y=Z.
April 5th, 2007 at 4:39 pm
I do agree with the vast majority of you. Light duty is pursued by lazy people that just don’t want to work. As an example, we have a mailhandler at our plant that is on LD for a shoulder injury. he has been on LD for 11 years but he has no problem playing golf or doing overtime. I will be happy to see a lot of the faking limited duty to go but i believe the greater problem is light duty. Our plant ’s light duty people are mostly minorities. is this a trend? It seems that more and more are going on Light duty at 91 days.Since the USPS is actually is seen as a free ride. I would hope that we could get Postal Inspectors to catch a few and fire them for a fraudalant claims. If it keeps going the way it is, everybody that gets hired will just go straight to light duty. Once they start getting kicked out the door they will heal very quickly. every day the we get more loaded on us but the LD just walk around or catch up on their reading of Postal Reg’s and the Supervisors and MDO’s don’t bother them. all it takes is a paper trail that they don’t want to do. Sorry limited duty but most of you fit this bill.
April 6th, 2007 at 12:49 am
anon, let’s try to keep the posts, to 5000 words, or less. I sure hope I have some extra kleenex, because ever since reading your post, I cannot stop crying! What a load of crap! Get off of your lazy ass, get off light duty, and get your scheming ass back to work.
April 6th, 2007 at 12:02 pm
One more thing anon, I am a raving idiot that likes to cry too, especially when I don’t get my way…waaaaaa
April 6th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Get rid of all of these faking scumbags!
April 6th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
ALL YOU MORONS WHO ARE YELLING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO GET INJURED ON THE JOB ARE IDIOTS…GET A LIFE LOSERS….
April 6th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
1 buc…..you sound like the biggest loser of all
April 7th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
Screw you a..hole! You are nothing more, than a low-life, lazy, good for nothing IOD! I hope the NRP ships your lazy ass off to Walmart!
April 9th, 2007 at 5:51 am
Why should the Postal Service carry IODs indefinitely? If you reach your maximum recovery and still can’t do the basic work you were hired to perform then why shouldn’t you be processed out and put in a job that fits your limitations? Even if your injury is real and permanent, I don’t understand the logic that says the rest of us should carry you from now on.
April 9th, 2007 at 7:09 am
After you all are gone I will have all of your cushy jobs, then I can file my own paperwork…WAAAAA
April 9th, 2007 at 7:39 pm
“Why should the Postal Service carry IODs indefinitely?”
If a person is permanantly injured because of the Service, they are entitled to compensation til they are of retirement age. Why should they be forced to take the piddly amount of money that they would get on disability retirement? Some people are truly injured through no fault of their own. It does happen whether any of you believe it or not. I’ve seen my share of scammers; we all have. But that doesn’t mean that every single person who is IOD is faking. Those of you who can’t see past your own jealousy to understand this are pathetic.
I hope to stay as healthy and undamaged as I possible can for the rest of my postal career. From what I’ve seen of the IOD/compensation process, a person would have to be insane to put themselves through it.
April 10th, 2007 at 7:15 am
I have been work for longtime…. I have over 2220 of sick leave hours… ok so I called sick … managerment asked me that dont call sick,, I was piss off what employess have less than 100 to 50 hours never warning ,, I am .. who is the hell..
one of worker asked me need donation annual leave to give worker,, I refused to give them , hahaha very funny. i have been working for 35 years, to give donation NO WAY
too bad …
April 12th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
A very sad bunch of posts indeed.
If they are faking… do you have proof? and if so…turn them in…
Everyone is so quick to judge but none of you have the truth at their fingertips and they believe what they want to believe…
I hope there are inspectors out catching the phonies and in the meantime just do your job and quit concerning yourself with what others do or don’t do…
it is so hard to work when you have your snoopy nose in everyone else’s business.
April 13th, 2007 at 12:40 am
Proud letter a…hole– you are right, all 38,000 are legitimate. What a dumbass you must be! Keep your asinine opinions to yourself!
April 13th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
I have read a few of these comments and some are really stupid in nature. Each injury should be judged case by case. Not everyone is faking and why should someone who gets hurt lose there jobs. The po has fed some of you peoples head with propaganda and you are feeding into it. This program not only hurts the people on limited or light duty but it will also hurt one of you so called healthy people(for Now) in the long run. Unity is the key and it is not for you all to judge someones sincerity when it comes to being hurt.
April 14th, 2007 at 6:02 am

You are right all 38,000 are illegitimate.
Did I say there weren’t scam artists?
No I just said who made folks like you judge and jury?
April 15th, 2007 at 5:58 am
If it weren’t for 38,00 lazy fakers, this program would not even be starting, so you scammers only have yourselves to blame. Get ready for Walmart!
April 15th, 2007 at 8:03 am
It’s scary how pompous you are 1buc.
I find it strange to think that you would think that the majority are faking…
We have a very physical job. Or maybe you don’t?
April 16th, 2007 at 4:20 am
I think that it is scary how naive you are. We have people in my plant, that have been IOD for years now, and while others have their bids abolished, these same co-workers, are allowed to stay on days, with weekends off! What incentive do they have, to come clean? A lot of them are working in the office, I call them office whores, or if you prefer, office rats. I stand by what I say, yes almost all of them are faking!
April 17th, 2007 at 8:18 am
I am a loser but at least I am a pompus ass loser.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
hey 1 buc, boy i would realy like to meet you for a beer and we could talk about this in person. But I bet your just one of those socially inept persons that hides behind your computer all day!
April 19th, 2007 at 4:54 am
Wow, I am really scared! You probably are one tough bastard.
April 19th, 2007 at 6:35 pm
I am always amazed at the number of my fellow carriers who criticize and attack their fellow carriers. These so called “heroes” are often insecure people who feel the need to belittel their fellow workers to make themselves feel big. They are usually the same people who are the last to criticize management and are often involved in a “sweetheart” deal with management as long as they are good and productive mules. Yes, there are slackers and frauds—however the VAST majority of them in my experience are in management.
April 20th, 2007 at 3:04 am
1. who said I was a carrier 2. I am the first one to criticize mgmt 3. I have never been give any kind of “sweetheart” deal, nor do I want one, but I do work with a couple that you have just described. You know, as well as I know, that the majority of IOD’s are capable of doing their bid jobs. Some of the a..holes, in my plant, have been on light/limited duty for several years. It is ridiculous, and you will see, that when they are faced with working some place else, or a change to less desireable hours, THEY WILL MIRACULOUSLY BE HEALED!
April 20th, 2007 at 10:44 am
Its time to end these low lifes forever.
They should all be in jail.
April 20th, 2007 at 5:32 pm
Tell me something!
How many of you have Upper Respiratory Infections from the dust in the PO? Allergies, Asthma, Bronchitis, Laryngitis, Pharyngitis, COPD, Sinus, Sinusitis and you just can’t see to get rid of a cold?
April 21st, 2007 at 5:14 am
Quit trying to scam! Your respiratory problems are not from the post office. You probably get them, from calling in sick, and sitting in a smoke-filled bar!
April 21st, 2007 at 5:46 am
Ibuc, I was waiting on you! I don’t smoke. Alot of us don’t smoke! And many have passed away, including my Mother. You should not make such statements. You don’t know what you are talking about. I await your answer Ibuc!

Oh….I don’t know. Maybe you are just fat, lazy, and out of shape! How is that for an answer?

You know, I waited for you to answer in such a manner. You’re right, you don’t know. “It is better to let folks think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”. Have a wonderful day, Ibuc!

JUST REALIZE THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE THEMSELVES THAT THIS IS A MISTAKE, AND WILL NEVER HAPPEN. WELL, WITH JOBS DWINDLING, THERE WILL BE FEW ENOUGH JOBS FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WORK, MUCH LESS THOSE WHO DON’T, HENCE THE PROGRAM IS GOING TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM…ANDREA, IF YOU SAY GOD IS YOUR WITNESS, THEN IF HIS TESTIMONY ON YOUR BEHALF, WILL SAVE YOU FROM WALKING THE PLANK WITH THE REST OF THE IODS, THEN, YOU HAD BETTER GET READY TO TAKE THE PLUNGE…DO NOT USE RELIGION IN THE REALM OF REALITY, IT ONLY IMPLIES ONE THING…..PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER! NOW, YOU CAN ADD THAT TO YOUR LIST OF DISABILITIES…….
April 24th, 2007 at 12:38 am
Latina, check out the article on 4-15, about the carrier getting caught wrongfully cashing in $85,000 while on disability! Now were talking. I hope this guy goes to the bighouse, along with about 37,999 others!
April 24th, 2007 at 8:44 am
1buc … I’m wondering what causes you to set yourself aside from other iods. From my perspective, you could very well be one of the ’scammers’ you refer to in your offensive posts. Indeed, why haven’t you done the ‘right thing’ and left the job you obviously are unable to do? Even if you (as you say) are not a scammer, you are a liability.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:57 am
Well, a..hole, if i can make sense of your asinine post, I have been there almost 30 years, and have never been an IOD. I guess that would be one thing that sets us apart! Another thing would be that I am not taking up a bid, and instead of working it, sitting in some office, answering phones- That would be another… in any event, your perspective is a little off, considering that your head is up your ass!

hey 1buc, i saw that about the carrier….yeah!!!! they are watchin em now, and there will be some of them who will be called out to the carpet…it’s about time..no other job will allow slugs like these to sit around picking their noses for years, while still collecting benefits and pay….they have had an easy ride up until now, and the ride is over, unless of course, they get a job watching the ticket stand at one of those walmart carnivals, mostly populated by illegal immigrants, who, like iods, ride off the backs of everyone else….and the days of the free ride are over!! hard times in the land of plenty!

Interesting 1buc, that you should deny ever being an IOD, when you yourself posted the following - and I quote: ” … 1 buc Says:
April 5th, 2007 at 12:05 pm
I have a confession to make. I am an IOD but my injury was real not like most of you fakers, so buz off. ,,, ”
Now which is the truth?
Furthermore, you really should educate yourself as to the proper use of the word ‘asinine’. If you truly understood the meaning, you would see that the definition more aptly applies to your own posts.

Upon further scruteny of 1buc’s reply to my question (just a reply, still no answer), I noticed this passage: ” … I have been there almost 30 years, and have never been an IOD. I guess that would be one thing that sets us apart!…” .
It appears that 1buc has ASSumed that I am an IOD. I can state (with certainty) that I am indeed NOT an IOD. Rather, after working in a full duty status for 23 years (20 years with multiple sclerosis), never asking for, nor recieving any accomodation for my disability, I honorably took a disability retirement when my disability became an inability. As a FERS employee, one has only to become disabled from the job they were hired to do in order to qualify for a disability retirement.
I do not have to spend my days ’sitting in some office answering phones’ (and probably submitting asanine posts to this website), like some people do. I am NOT a liability to the USPS like some people are.

HEY MALCON, IN YOUR STATEMENT “Interesting 1buc, that you should deny ever being an IOD, when you yourself posted the following”…THERE IS NO NEED TO WRITE “YOU YOURSELF” YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST USED “YOU” IN THAT SENTENCE …TALK ABOUT NEEDING AN EDUCATION, I GUESS YOU SLEPT DURING ENGLISH CLASS (SPECIAL EDUCATION NO DOUBT)..NOW THAT YOU ARE RETIRED, PERHAPS YOU CAN GO AND GET YOUR G.E.D.! good luck…..you’ll need it….

Real nice…
Yes the OIG is watching and they will catch those folks (if they are faking it)
But…rue the day when you have some disability happen and you…seeing that you will be a ‘burden’ on the Post Office decide to quit…’because it is the right thing to do’
yea right…
This is what I have found…those who protest the loudest are the ones who will turn around and do the exact same thing that they are protesting about.
Let me know when you do your noble deed would you…I will be so proud of you then!
Until then…mind your own beeswax or turn someone in if you have ‘factual’ evidence that they are scammers.

um,,letter carrier, you are by any chance, a crackhead? if you are, then that explains your stupid post, if not, then, give it a try, then you have an excuse for being such a raving lunatic!

Gee ‘LAT’ … you should have been a teacher. What would people do without educators such yourself around to correct their grammatical errors. Never mind the fact that you totally skirted the issue of 1buc’s blatant lie.
Speaking of which … where is 1buc, and which scenario will turn out to be true? Perhaps 1buc will simply resort to name calling in an effort to distract the attention of readers in this forum. Just like ‘LAT’ does. The striking similarity in their manner of expression is uncanny.

Alright, I admit it. I am an IOD, but that does not mean that I am not productive. Just because I can no longer perform the duties of the job that I bid on, does not mean that I should be shipped off to the private sector! I perform a lot of duties, that save other people from doing, therefore they can do other essential things!

Hey Asswipe MouthContent: I am here, and thanks for finally telling the truth about your rotten, no-good lazy ass! You are one of the last scammers, that should be critical towards anyone, as far as education goes. You better start studying, for your new job as checkout clerk, of the local 24 hour Walmart. I will bet that they will be able to fire you, unlike your supervisors at the PO.
