An organization representing Postal Service supervisors is warning about an “exodus” of management-level employees — although data from USPS and its inspector general office don’t corroborate these claims.
The National Association of Postal Supervisors, in a recent post on its website, raised the alarm about a “crisis in leadership retention.”
NAPS National President Ivan Butts wrote earlier this month that a “significant number of EAS employees are leaving the USPS for other federal agencies, enticed by better pay and less-demanding working conditions.”
“That’s work objectives they’re trying to achieve,” Butts said in a recent interview. “And then they’re being viewed by the leadership in these other agencies as superstars, just because of how they were so overburdened. Working at this agency, I guess, made them tend to go at it harder at what they do.”
