TYPICAL POSTAL MANAGER! I WONDER HOW MUCH DID HE SPEND ON HOOKERS?
Whats new. Another top postal offical jackoff.
>>He has declined to discuss his reasons for leaving or accusations against him
Sad situation.He was one of our most articulate supporters.He was really good at putting the cheap shot artists in their place.It's to bad that he seemingly got carried away with the priviledges of his position.
Jaffer must have REALLY pissed off someone in HQ. They NEVER tell on each other in HQ.
That's not what USPS told the WORLD a few weeks ago, "Azeezaly Jaffer, who is pursuing other career opportunities outside the Postal Service."
Oh, well, another one finally got caught
It sounds like misuse of postal funds to me. Craft and management employees are prosecuted and fired for the same offenses.
Are we suprised? He's probably a consultant with fedex now. They probably know enough not to give any former postal bureaucrats a company credit card. The former they will just spend so much that some CEO will have to forgo a (multi) million dollar bonus.
There should be a across the board investigaion of all managers.
Dont forget Jaffers wife was making money on the co that was selling art work of our stamps.He should go to jail and share a cell with Bubba
Where the "White Women" at ?
He is just like most craft employees.They just go to the parking lot.
This was going on for years. It was no secret. Why did it take so long before he got called on it?
Is Jaffer a pimp?
this is similar to oig catching a former bog member last year.
There was another VP of USPS Pubic Relations in hot water over a hotel bill not long ago. During the Lance Armstrong Tour da France the VP had a room and then her Area Manager hubby had a room, at the same hotel and for several hundred dollars a night. Each submitted vouchers for reimbursement for $500 meals at the same restaurants where they alledgedly were promoting the USPS. Any day not the French will buy a book of stamps because of the goodwill they received.
Wonder where they got promoted to?
Another one of the loafers getting all the glamour at employee's expense. Go ahead, promote another ubangi!
Maybe Potter can get him a job at UPS.
It's a dayum shame Jaffer was so reckless in his position. There not many people of color in high positions in the Postal Service.
However, Jaffer should still pay back all postal funds used for his high-wheeling lifestyle.
managers in denver have quietly been staying at the marriott and other places in norman oklahoma at higher costs then the tech center hotel and meeting their "co-workers".
gee maybe the oig should do an audit of some folks travel claims.
Expect to hear absolutely zero from your elected representatives about these and the countless other situations of similar nature at the PO.Perhaps it is time for the unions to collectively put a blog together about all these situations.
Looks like we found our next PMG.
If hourly slobs had done what he did they would be spending time at Leavenworth. But, he left to "pursue other interests and spend more time with my family." Jaffffferere
Jaffer is a TYPICAL MANAGER!
excessive drinking= drunk, alcoholic
the postal service should have recommended him to EAP.
Where on earth did he get a name like
Azeezaly?? Sounds mighty sleazy to me
Before contract negotiations begin an audit and/or through investigation needs to conducted on every PCES at headquarters.
We need to know how many more drunks are making decisions or representing the PO.
Wow, imagine that! The Post Office lets one of their people resign, rather than be fired. I wonder if they would allow a level 6 clerk to do the same.
the report says that he was "using crass language in mixed company and commenting on the appearance of female co-workers."|isnt that what they teach in ASP? All the sups at my place sexually harrass the women, and the women that give in get promoted, its the postal way!
Put this Postal Pig in prison and throw away the key. What a bum!
Sure, Jaffer was a jerk and was ripping off the government, but the person who should be taking the heat is PMG Potter. This all happened under his watch. He worked and traveled with Azeez Jaffer and HAD to have known what was going on. He'd have to be blind not to see it. Potter is completely out of touch. Time to move on Jack!
HIT THE ROAD JACK.....and dont come back no more no more....
He was never a union officer. They could have shown him how to get a lot more plus put some in his pocket like they do. He got peanuts compared to our HQ guys.
Potter isn't going anywhere right now. He hasn't finished running the Postal Service totally into the dirt yet (but he's close).
Once he's finished, look for him to get a nice cushy retirement job with somebody highly connected to the Republican Party.
This story about Jaffer sounds like a ploy typical of the Republicans. Discredit the hell out of a person before they spill the beans on all the crooked stuff YOU'VE done.
It has Karl Rove's earmarks all over it.
And you thought my post two weeks ago was too critical of the lie and deny, out-of-touch with reality Azeeley? $8,252.00? Is that all? Very fine wine at $1,000/per bottle, hell that is only 8 bottles as the room was probably comped. A stupid, lying, horney, cussing bastard, dirty old man.....now THAT is what "Going Postal" really means!! He wasn't the first corrupt EAS crook nor will he be the last. Just putting in my time watching our leaders taking us down the death spiral. There is no First Class in this organization; it is classless. I love it when these rightous liars die from sticking their heads too far up their asses. Another one hits the dust, and another one hits the dust!
WHAT THE HECK DOES THE PO MEAN BY "MIXED COMPANY", he made crass statement to. Speaking of crass statments, this term is no longer poitically correct to use anymore. Yep, ONE BIG ENRON PARTY.
I said, "where are the white women at? "
Pass me another shot of that whisky, Bartender!
HE WAS SO HORNEY---------
a pig with lipstick.....is still a pig.
another uneducated bum from the good-old-boy network-corruption is the fuel that runs the po-a fifth rate organization!
OR, it could be that Jaffer left the USPS when he discovered some illegal or immoral activity by higher ups, and now the USPS is discrediting him to ensure his silence and damage his credibility. Having read many IM's, the Postal Inspectors will slant their investigation and findings in favor of their employer. Most posts above prove that they have their heads in the sand, by taking what Postal Inspectors say as factual. Jaffer is wise not to comment at this point, I suspect that if charges are filed (I doubt they will be) we will learn a lot of what is going on at headquarters.
The USPS cast the first stone, and I am sure Jaffer signed a confidentiality agreement, but I doubt that agreement is enforcable under Subpoena , so go ahead an charge the man USPS, if you do not, then what is it you are keeping from the public?
Very good comment by "truthseeker" and "UR12" Both have very valid points. It is more of the same. Lie and Deny. They are all stars until something goes wrong. Then in the PO they find some slob blame. It is all on him. Meanwhile after a slight stay of frivolity, it is business or non-business as usual.
When I read these comments,I just shake my head. Sure all Supervisors / Managers are... without any exceptions. Just like all Letter carrier are hard working efficent individuals. Let's not generalize...Please! Yes some supervisors are not good, just like some carriers are bums.Don't show your ignorance by your universal generalizations.As the saying goes," If the shoe fits, buy the pair" Realistic Carrier.
I like Latinas.
07/08/2003 - Jaffer’s wife works for stamp art company - Linns Stamps News - Azeezaly S. Jaffer, the top spokesman for the United States Postal Service, acknowledged to Linn’s on June 19 that his wife is employed by the Iowa-based company that has a potentially lucrative Postal Service contract to sell framed reproductions of U.S. stamp art. But there’s no ethical conflict, according to other Postal Service spokesmen. Members of Jaffer’s department of public affairs and communications began negotiating that agreement with Art Select Inc. ("ArtSelect") last fall shortly after Tammy Jaffer began working as the firm’s Washington-based representative, according to Jaffer. Jaffer, who is well known to stamp collectors as the Postal Service’s former stamp czar, played a prominent role June 16 in announcing the three-year contract with Art Select of Fairfield, Iowa. He was one of the speakers at a $9,700 Washington party the Postal Service hosted for Art Select to announce the agreement. Federal government conflict of interest rules and the Postal Service ethical standards prohibit any postal employee from contracting with a company in which the employee or his immediate family have a financial interest. The rules also advise workers not to take any actions that might create the appearance of a conflict of interest
Potter, Donahoe and the other VPs at HQ must have known about Azeez's drinking problem. He must have rubbed somebody the wrong way to get busted for $8,000 overspending.
The same applies for BOG former member John Nolan.
L'Enfant Plaza or a pile of horse manure the size of the Pentagon....which smells worse?
all little pinhead undereducated postal bureaucrats......morons who can not even run a monopoly.....how sad the scum floats to the top.
You're right about Jaffer getting busted for a mere $8,000. Jaffer was the braintrust behind the "celebrate the century" campaign back in 2000. That campaign was a big BUST and lost millions for the USPS. I private industry Jaffer would have been canned for that.
He must have pissed someone off. I heard he had a few internal enemies that went to the OIG and sparked the investigation. The OIG doesn't report to that goofball Potter, so they have free reign to investigate.
lie and deny, just like BJ Clinton did with the shoot down of TWA flight 800.
the sheeple will believe anything as long as you keep the lie going.....sounds a lot like the creeps who run the po into ground.
The inspectors have caught two postal supervisors in a hotel room 2 times and they are still working!!! not even a demotion!! That's what goes on in Buffalo/WNY District.
I forgot to say they were on the clock when they were caught!!
Potter's too busy attacking IOD employees, where else can they target a specific class of people (IOD now with a disability), kick them out the door, and it doesn't even hit the mainstream papers? They love playing GOD with people's lives. They're just the opposite - the evilist of the evil.
JUST TELLING THE TRUTH
It is wide spread here in South Jersey managers doing shopping and partying on the clock. Maybe the Inspectors need to be held for not doing there jobs. Dept of Justice needs to get involved
EAS and PCES are NEVER "on the clock." They are NOT hourly rated workers and are "salaried." They are afforded dispensations that are NEVER available to hourly (craft) workers. Let's make sure we dot our "i's" and cross our "t's" when refering to HR issues at the USPS.
Isn't this the guy that got into trouble with Bill Henderson the former PMG for fighting in bars at the Postal Forum?
If they go private all the relatives will lose there manager jobs.
Hope dept justice looks at what he did
I think it's time: To expose management to what waste is performed "CONSTANTLY" in this United States Postal Service.
The paying public needs to be informed ASAP to clowns like this!
Of course he was probably told, that must make USPS appear poor:Contracts expire in November!
YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT BETTER THAN THOSE WHOM SERVE IN THE POLITICAL BODIES OF THIS NATION-ALLA BABBA AND THE FORTY THIEVES!!!!!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a minute there, partners. I have been accused of "running up an excessive $8,252 hotel bill" and "spending extravagantly on meals and drinks". What is it you want me to do? Sleep in some flea-bag motel? Drink domestic wine? Eat at McDonalds every day? So I stayed at a nice hotel, ate well, drank better, and becuase I drank better, I was a little more relaxed with my language. Big deal. It's not like I was spending your money anyway. Did you forget that we just raised the cost of stamps? Did you forget that it's almost time to "negotiate" with the Unions over contracts? What would happen if we still had all of that money and the Unions asked for a raise? Believe me, I did what I did in the best interests of the Postal Service. And what's wrong with telling some babe you work with she looks hot? Should I just pretend she doesn't exist? The truth is the vast majority of female postal workers enjoy being noticed. Just setting the record straight.
you douche
Aweaselaly, you can come back to the mother land and fight the infidels, brother
I live in D.C. and have seen him many times in the company of Marion Barry.
If it was a snow bunny doin' this stuff it would have been swept under the rug.Belee Dat.
The bottom line theft is theft. He was in a position of authority and he abused it. Time to bite the bullet. Craft employees do the same thing daily. They steal time daily by using unjustified OT. A thief is a thief. It doesn't matter if you are in management or the craft. Maybe the craft will do the honorable thing and resign like Jaffer.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE INSPECTION SERVICE ACTUALLY NAILED A MANAGEMENT CULPRIT????
HOW MANY MORE ARE PROMOTED EACH DAY JUST LIKE THIS ONE???
HOW MANY LAWYERS AND HOW MUCH MONEY WILL THE USAF HQS. SPEND ON DEFENDING HIM???
"WHAT COMES AROUND, GOES AROUND"
WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN.
JOE
more please about the two supervisors from buffalo/wny region. at least the initials

IG Report Documents Former VP's Abuses
Former Postal Service Vice President Azeezaly Jaffer resigned 11 days after investigators produced
a highly critical report that accused USPS’s top spokesman of “a pattern of misusing Postal
Service funds for personal use,”sexually harassing
and embarrassing female workers and other abuses.
A heavily redacted version of the 34-page report by the Postal Service Office of Inspector General was made available on July 21 in response
to a Freedom of Information Act request.
In the report, investigators portray the USPS vice president as spending postal funds recklessly and drinking excessively at postal events, bypassing government travel rules and not being candid about his actions.
Details of his lavish spending were hidden from postal officials by use of a government credit card, the report said.
Jaffer, 51, who headed the Department of Public Affairs and Communications from October
1999 to his June 30 resignation, had said after his surprise departure that he left government service
after nearly 30 years because he “decided it was time to pursue opportunities in the private sector
while I still had a few good years left in me.”
Asked if Jaffer wished to comment on the report, Postal Service spokesman Gerald McKiernan said: “Azeez has nothing to add to what he told you last week. ... Mr. Jaffer is no
longer the vice president of public affairs and communications. The contributions he’s made to
the Postal Service are appreciated and we wish him well in his future endeavors.”
The report rejected Jaffer’s assertions of no wrongdoing. “Jaffer demonstrated a consistent
lack of candor with the OIG during his May 19,2006, interview. ... His statements during the interview are contradicted by documentary
evidence and more than a dozen witnesses.”
The investigation, which began a year ago, found that the postal executive “routinely used Postal Service funds to pay for many alcoholic drinks in hotel lounges, followed by lavish meals with expensive wines and additional drinks.” It said he drank to excess and twice passed out at postal events.
The report cited Jaffer’s frequent trips to the Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church, one of his favorite Washington area restaurants.
The report said Jaffer dined there 17 times between May 19, 2003 and June 11, 2005, running up a tab that totaled $12,863 of which $4,675 was for alcohol. Jaffer had a limousine for some of the dinners and fed his driver.
On Sept. 5, 2005, Jaffer wrote the Postal Service a check for $2,000 to cover some of the entertainment
costs, the report said.
The report highlighted a 2004 conference Jaffer’s staff held at a Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington,
charging that Jaffer arranged to get a $8,252 ”grand suite” for himself during the three-day event by
boosting the room rates postal workers in his department were charged for attending the event.
In addition, the report accused the postal executive of receiving 231,660 “bonus points” from the
hotel chain for holding the meeting at one of its hotels. Although Jaffer was told by a postal lawyer
he would have to use any such points for Postal Service business, Jaffer held these points in a personal account, the report said. It also said he dodged use of the Postal Service’s travel agent to book trips on American Airlines to build up his bonus points on that airline. The report quoted workers as saying that Jaffer used “crass and vulgar language” in mixed company and at postal meetings. It accused him of sexually harassing “at least” three female postal employees and a contractor. He allegedly fell asleep on the hotel room floor of one worker after he propositioned her during a National Postal Forum in Nashville, Tenn., in 2000.
My how the mighty have fallen
