The United States Service Council (USPS) confirmed that Monday will be its last day, noting that the deputy director of the Doug Tolino Post Office was used to take over until the permanent alternative is chosen by the council.

Digoy, who was appointed during the term of President Donald Trump, told the Governor’s Council that it was time to find a suitable successor last week, as USPS tries to recover from hundreds of billions of dollars in the expected losses during the next decade.

The postal service moved in January to reduce 10,000 jobs by offering early retirement to qualified workers.

In a message to earlier this month, Digoy expressed his regret that it had a postal service “a broken business model that was not sustainable financially unchanged and essential.”

“Reforming a broken organization has witnessed nearly $ 100 billion in losses and is expected to lose another $ 200 billion, without bankruptcy, is a difficult task,” Digoy wrote. “The reform of a highly organized legislative organization and its excessive organization as huge, important, dear, misunderstanding and discussing it as a postal service for the United States, with a broken business model, is more difficult.”

Doge Usps will help treat “big problems” at the agency of $ 78 billion a year, which sometimes fought in recent years to stay on his feet. The agreement aims to help the postal service to determine “additional efficiency”.

The head of the US McRynolds Postal Service said on Monday that conservatives appreciate the DEJOY leadership and unimaginable efforts to update the postal service while trying to reversed contracts for negligence.

“Louis is a fighter, and he fought hard for women and men in the postal service and to ensure that the American people have a reliable service at reasonable prices for years. And I am sure that it will continue to grow with progress in further progress, and the promise of the mail service is completely transferred. ”

A press release said that Digoy was exploited to lead the agency in 2020, during a period of the “huge operational and financial crisis” for postal service.

USPs currently employ about 640,000 workers assigned to connections, from internal cities to rural areas to remote islands.

The service plans to reduce 10,000 employees in the next thirty days through the volunteer early retirement program that was announced in January, according to the message.

The agency previously announced plans to reduce operating costs by more than $ 3.5 billion annually. This is not the first time that thousands of employees have been cut. In 2021, the agency reduced 30,000 workers.

Since the service, which has worked as an independent entity since 1970, has struggled to balance books with a decline in first -class mail, it has fought calls from Trump and others in particular.
