If you look closely at your mail you'll see that all the envelopes are now barcoded. This enables us to delay the mail in new and innovative ways. A piece of mail being sent across the State of Maine will somehow get coded for my route in California. If I don't obliterate both the black barcode on the front, and the orange barcode on the back, the envelope will endlessly loop back to my route. I have a big black marker at my case for obliterating these barcodes; but only because I bought it myself- we're lucky to get any sort of supplies. I'm sure a lot of my fellow employees won't buy their own supplies, so there is certainly a fair amount of mail looping through postal limbo. Postal management wouldn't know of this situation, because it's clear to me that they know less about mail delivery than does your average dog. The only thing they are worried about is the size of their bonus (craft employees, carriers and clerks, do not get bonuses: they must work for their pay). I can assure you that management bonuses are not computed on quality of service or customer satisfaction, or they would be getting fined instead of receiving bonuses.
