Olathe, KS, Letter Carrier Jim Sommers was recently recognized for an impressive feat: He has worked for the Postal Service for 25 years without ever calling out sick.
“I feel this is very important,” Sommers said. “I was hired to do a job, and every day I come to work.”
Sommers’ aim is to serve his customers, and Olathe Postmaster Wes Bowers appreciates his dedication.
“Jim is constantly putting his customers first and will go out of his way to deliver excellent customer service. He is an asset to our team,” Bowers said.
This type of individual used to be common at the USPS. Individuals with a strong work ethic and sense of duty. Unfortunately, aggressive DEI initiatives and a two tiered workforce that pays poverty wages insured that these individuals are few and far between. This is the main reason internal mail theft is at an all time high.
