Overview
- Jason Thompson’s viral post described a barely plowed Fairfield facility with trucks buried by 2–3 feet of snow and no mail to deliver.
- He says USPS officials warned him to delete the post before placing him on emergency suspension without pay, and local reporting now lists him on unpaid leave.
- USPS declined to confirm any disciplinary action and issued a general statement emphasizing employee safety, emergency plans, and cold‑weather precautions such as warm‑up breaks and adjusted practices.
- Thompson said carriers were expected to dig out vehicles themselves and to use personal sick or annual leave if they left early despite the lack of work.
- Reports note Butler County received more than 13 inches of snow during Winter Storm Fern, which frames the conditions he described.
