I hope they turned their work culture upside down…. maybe 15 yrs ago I was attending an induction assembly meeting and we were treated like Cxxx … something lower than dirt…my first & last day… I knew then I didn’t want to work in that kind of work environment… and this was out first day & they had no idea how good or bad we were in work ethics.
Are they hiring people not of color?
It seems as though they do a lot of recruiting in the Philippines.
.
Filipinos have a good work ethic. They don’t take reaching the US (thru legal means) for granted unlike OTHER immigrants.
.
Asians are the inconvenient minority for those who tout the “systemic racism” argument.
.
people from the Philippines are are awesome. All the ones I have met have come to the USA legally and are chasing the American dream through hard work. I have had the same experience with people from Nepal.
I’ve worked (and still work) with Philippinos – they’re the greatest! Smart, hard-working, good family people. A brilliant IT lady at work, for one.
Punjabis are great, too – as are Indians in general.
I don’t think I’ve ever met a Nepalese, though. Once, an Uzbek lady cut my hair – did a great job.
It does not matter if you’re praising people or putting them down… if race is the qualifier, you are being racist !
Those Asian’s are really crushing it tho! …..Aren’t they?
Darwin’s first comment and Chris’ veiled slander are despicable race baiting.
That said, I have not been a customer of USPS for over 13 years after harassment from the local postmaster. No more misdirected mail delivered down the street. No more disrupted service on Mondays after a Raider win.
No more packages stolen from the porch. Never knowing, when, if, or who will show up and see a 15 yr old sleeping frail dog inside the fence and run away screaming. No notifications about lost mail or packages.
Be done with all of it. Go to any local UPS store and rent a box, fill out the change of address card and you’re done, and the USPS can go f&ck themselves. The cost is negligible compared to the hassle.
As a man sits with his two sons outside Whole Foods in Walnut Creek begging for rent money and food. He looks well bodied and able
If he is still there I will let him know and will expect a dirty look. .
But Gov Newsom and auntie pelosi tell me there are no jobs and that I need to pay more taxes so people can stay home
