The story Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller was about a salesman who was always dreaming of a better life. The salesman's neighbor was very real and spent a lot of time with his children and he was a hardworker who built up a large company. The salesman's sons had to tutor his rich neighbor's sons. What a novel idea it would be if a comparison were to be made of a play written about the Postal Service and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman!
Even though the materials would originate from postal happenings, the play itself would model Arthur Miller's work. Occasionally, lower level postal employees would play small and insignificant roles to make up the background and the décor. However, the play would be focused on the higher ups and the importantly positioned people.
In the post office you have bosses that are slimeballs. Then you have the older bosses who will not learn the new computer system technology and who play cards all day to pass the time. These big bosses like to pass their work onto a middle manager that they know can work the computer system.
The inspectors periodically walk carriers on their routes. A route is considered as the distance or number of stops the carrier covers in the course of the day. Walking with the inspector, the carrier's route can be adjusted either subjectively or objectively.
An adjustment can the the result of added stops or a change of walking the route itself. While inspected, the carrier must also be cognizant of the approved way of carrying and handling the mail which is reading, fingertipping and carrying the mail.
Sometimes as consequences of mishandling and time consumption, postal carriers might be disciplined. Bear in mind, your speed of carrying and everything else the inspector notices during the inspection will be noted in your personnel file.
Then you have the postal clerks who are part time and are responsible to sort the mail to give to the postal carriers. There is even some sabotage there because sometimes the clerks sort the mail too slowly and then the mail carrier has to go out on their route really late.
However, just because the postal clerk took a long time to sort the mail so he could get more overtime pay in his paycheck doesn't mean that the postal carrier has more time to deliver the mail.
Au contraire, because the entire route that the postal carrier has to do is entered into the computer including the amount of time to deliver the mail.
The post office is always increasing the amount of postage. People are always lobbying in Congress to increase the postage and when they do increase the postage some of that money goes to pay the lobbyists so it is a never ending cycle.
I feel that they should increase the postage by ten cents and guarantee that it will remain there for ten years but that will never happen because the post office is privately owned and they can increase the rates and just do whatever they want, you know just like any other company.
Imagine having to play second fiddle to rich people just because your father was a dreamer who had never “made good” financially.
Then when you try to get ahead, you end up taking shortcuts to success that undermine your worth as a human being. The secret longing to succeed while slaving away at a tedious job causes Death of a Salesman Syndrome.
