Good, bad, or indifferent. The USPS is known for hiring the unhirable to make work jobs that you can't be fired from. Inside that bloated workforce is the real workforce who actually does a good job; letters and packages get where they're supposed to when they're supposed to. But because of the decades of overstaffing, huge benefits packages, and retirement plans that would make an EU bureaucrat blush the USPS is on the verge of bankruptcy. The British post is known (atleast what I know about it) for what it used to be; overly organized by little old men and women and a few young wannabe-uberbureaucrats with an office on every street and tiny spot on the map. So what's the story with the French postal system?
