USPS has updated Postal Service Uniform Guidelines, a pictorial guidebook that managers, supervisors and employees can use to ensure uniforms are worn properly.
The update includes pictures of employees wearing Cyberknit polo shirts and cargo-pocket trousers, which the organization approved for letter carriers in 2022.
The 23-page guidebook features color, head-to-toe images of letter carriers, retail associates and motor vehicle operators dressed in year-round uniforms, and warm and cold weather postal attire.
The guidebook, which the Postal Service introduced in 2018, is available on the Postal Communicator’s Toolbox Blue page.
Now this is hilarious and fits well with USPS hiring practices. When you hire at the bottom of the barrel, you get people that look like bums. They’re so short handed, they’re just glad they show up. If you don’t take pride in your appearance, you’re not going to care about the job. It also filters down to the regulars, who regularly wear nasty shoes or hats. Management’s just glad they’re there.
