waive csrs penalty for early retirement eligible usps employees2009

usps is looking to get rid of 120000 positions..this is the number of csrs that they currently employe..they will be able to achieve these numbers quickly and be able to recover the economic mess they find themselves in the past years..the usps problem IS NOT DUE TO the ecomomy..it is due to poor management...please waive the penalty for VER eligible employees of CSRS, because we are losing close to 700000 dollars a month..and the post office has done nothing in the past year to bring about anything that is but a mere bandaid..SUPPORT this!

I know at least two employees at my branch would makee way for new hires if this happened. One is myself. one year short on service time and one and a half short on age.
it is the right thing to do
Replace CSRS with new hires..savings in the billions. A decent offer will get your numbers.
If they waived the penalty and i took the VERA at 53 . It would save the P.O. over 180,000 dollars and a lot more if i stayed past 55, It just seems like a smart thing to do if they were wanting to save money
I'm 54 with 33 1/2 years, would go with the waiver of the penalty. I know of 2 other EAS within 10 miles of my office that would also go. We talk about this almost daily. If the Service is serious about reducing employees without riffing anyone this I know would reduce the workforce quickly.
waive the penalty and add a few years service with a small incentive payoff and i bet most csrs will leave. why should we pay to retire early.
No Penalty and the rightsizing of the workforce will receive a big boost.
You worked for what you have. Why should they take away what
you haved earned. Waive it and then wave me goodbye
Everyone I talk to says it is a no brainer,waive the penalty and get the numbers you need to leave.Most CSRS employees are within 2 to 3 years of 55 and they will go !
Agree with all... Waive the penalties, alot more people will take it..
If the USPS offers no penalty to all csrs employees who are under the age of 55, almost all of us will go. Consequently, it will substantially save the USPS in the long run.
