New US postmaster general faces heavy lift stabilizing finances

Steiner is the highest paid chief executive in the agency’s history, with a salary of $346,780, according to a separate regulatory filing. The board also gave Steiner a relocation bonus worth 50% of his salary. His total first-year compensation, not including other benefits, is more than $520,000.

Predecessor Louis DeJoy was making $336,399 before being forced out of office by the White House in March. His total compensation, including perks and bonuses, was $561,000.  

Douglas Tulino, who served as acting postmaster general since DeJoy’s March 24 departure, has returned to his prior role as deputy postmaster general. The board in May raised his salary to $342,280 and granted him a $100,000 retention bonus.

The president of the United States only makes $400,000 per year and the vice president is paid $253,500, but Steiner and Tulino’s salaries are much smaller than they could earn in the private sector for similar roles.

We all know they’re not going to delivery; many of them left delivery for Saturdays off and air conditioning. Let’s not forget they couldn’t work with the very people they themselves hired. But I agree, deliver or depart.
