coincidence or just plain mail count fraud?

The odd thing I noticed during mail count .....I kept getting a few pieces of a DPS'ed Direct Mailing....like from Huges Net., Dish, Insurance mailing....never seen this before. Now, you can look at your trays of DPS and see "Oh, I have a full coverage today".....in two weeks....never had a full coverage. Usually, at least 3 to 4 full coverage a week....so very odd.
Also, the raw mail almost completely dried up and the DPS was very clean.....all very odd to me. I wouldn't say anyone cheated; but it is just very odd. Anything can happen; but it does seem odd it happens during a mail count period.
It takes so much more time these days with all the GO's (get outs), before we got Amazon maybe 12 or 15 GO's a day....now that is a light day. When you deliver to a true Rural Route with very long driveways it adds a bunch of time to get out 40/50/60 times a day. Not complaining just a observation.
Did I use the word ODD to much? </blockquote>
When you work your route and the mail for that route EVERY day... you notice when stuff is different... during mail count it IS different... altho they SAY it's SUPPOSED to be the same during mail count as it is the rest of the year... <img title="Confused" alt="Confused" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-confused.gif" />

Yes ...D.B. Cooper....that is what I was trying to say...........this whole mail count was odd...things that should have been weren't....stuff we didn't get, what we did get was good; but was it everything we usually get the last week of month/first week of the month?? NO.... So I can't say was it coincidence or just plain mail count fraud....but I can say it was odd.

When I see stuff that tells me things were clearly manipulated... like pristine clean DPS with no letters for other towns, no upside down, no out of order, etc., etc... well, if they're monkeying with one thing to put their fingers on the scale against us... then it makes me suspicious that they're doing it anywhere and everywhere that they can... and that's what I believe happens during mail counts... <img title="Confused" alt="Confused" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-confused.gif" />

The last two days I've had 91 and 99 "scan events" at the end of the day. During the count I only exceeded that number twice...108 and 104...both of which were Monday's.
What amazes me is that for 50 weeks out of the year management can't get out of their own way. Yet for 2 friggin weeks then can wake up and screw us to a wall.
just imagine if they took all of their spirit from the 2 weeks and applied themselves for 50 week how wonderful a place usps would be to work in.
