US link so I can't post the full story.

They’re punching clocks on the way in and robbing the USPS blind on the way out. Some are connected to organized crime and drug trafficking. But most are likely rank-and-file employees pocketing credit cards, checks, gift cards, medication, and other valuables.

Those are just a few takeaways from a newly published report from the USPS’s Office of the Inspector General.

USPS is being run into the ground, same as here.

In 2010, the postal service created a two-tier workforce to cut costs. It began hiring temporary workers who make less, don’t get the same benefits, and don’t work regular schedules. They now make up about a fifth (17.9% in FY2023) of the workforce.

These workers don’t stick around long. Audits consistently report “unacceptable” turnover rates. In FY2022, less than half (47.8%) of all pre-career employees were still on the job 360 days after they were hired.
