Thank you for clarifying Ishmael. The article was pointing out that 2008 scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions were not divulged.

Or let me put it another way, buying vechiles that reduce emissions is great but how is this tied; in any way, to anyone getting a bonus? Now do you get my point? Every supervisor and manager gets PFP based upon the rules THAT THEY MADE UP. Hard to lose when you set the rules.

Ishmael…so what is your point? My point (and I work there in a high level job) is the PO only cares about the bonuses, not service. Go get a copy of what each District has to do to be able to hand out bonuses..service is not there and sadly service is all we have to offer..you dont get the point at all do you?

If you read the entire report in detail, you will see that the USPS does specifically call out scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for 2007 (page 2). Furthermore, they provided additional breakdown of Scope 1 and 2 between owned vehicles, contract vehicles, and facilities.

How lovely. The PO just changed the rules for their bonuses and guess what? Yep saving energy is a bigger to get their bonuses. Now if we can get them to put into their bonus formula something about running a business into the ground the cycle will be complete.
