Yeah, I had this thought too—at the (non-federal) agency where I work, something like 40% of our employees don’t have an agency email address, because they have field operations jobs.
If it’s anything like the transit agencies I’ve been at, line workers don’t have email because they would have to get paid to check it and that would be a compliance nightmare.
At transit agencies where bus operators don't have emails they usually get any communication they need in the form of letters/memos/notices handed to them when they sign in for their shift, or in mailboxes nearby.
Yeah I’m just surprised because a huge portion of our basic HR operation wouldn’t work without an agency email: healthcare selection, retirement account contribution, etc. You can do that on paper of course but I sensed we’d shifted to electronic because it’s more reliable.
Nope. That doesn't mean they don't have means of being communicated with digitally (like agency-issued devices with special software), but they don't have email/Office 365 accounts, and of course since they all report to work in person they can be handed stuff on paper.
It's not necessarily all on paper. As I said, many have work-issued devices, and there are also some web-based systems you log into using an agency account that isn't tied to an agency email address (e.g. your employee ID number and a password).
As far as I can tell, OPM still doesn't think it has oversight of postal employees (which it or its predecessors haven't since 1971), though that presumably changes if Commerce takes over(?)
Surely there’s no way they’re thinking they don’t control something? If it hasn’t happened it’s because they’re just using some existing system or database that’s based on what past employees thought they controlled.
