Misuse of Position II

What’s Thicker than Blood?

  • Never use your postal position to help your relatives or your friends get a job or a contract with the Postal Service.
  • If you know about an opportunity, get in and get out fast!
  • Tell them where to find information, and then let the official USPS process unfold.

When you avoid giving your relatives and friends special treatment, you show our customers and prospective employees that Postal Service employees have integrity – and that’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office (ethics.help@usps.gov) for guidance.
