I'm not saying that they are making it up but if it maybe happened once it's going to get put out there as the norm. I worked in a job once where the supervisors had their lair in a room just behind my back. They spent half their time moaning, as they sat around drinking tea all day. "Our conditions are worse than the cleaners!" was a memorable quote that's stuck in my head. Edit to add: they were govt employed, we weren't.

According to employees, it happens frequently.

I extend my arguemets about whether or not the behavior occurred (at all) to the frequency of the behavior: either it's a lie or it's not.

Once again, seems to me like it's not.

what would give those reports a lot more weight in my eyes would be if they were from ex-employees of the USPS. People who'd left the job for something else through being forced to pee in a bottle. It's ridiculous, where do taxi drivers pee? Where do ice cream sellers and sandwich board wearers and a whole host of other employees?
