They said the room had a hidden walkway that the managers could watch them through peep holes. One told me that the manager would follow him on his walking route and hide behind bushes trying to catch him doing something wrong. They must get promoted by the number of employees they are able to write up. So the post office has significant problems besides the regulations put on them from congress. Mike.
Yep we have that same walkway in our building. They have a tinted viewing window about every 6 feet so you cant see if anyone is up there. Also the supervisors do hide out on your route and try to catch you doing things worng. They also will walk with you on your route and nag you about how slow your going and what not also.
