Shocking Exit: USPS Boss DeJoy Resigns Effective Immediately

The agency announced that U.S. postmaster general Louis DeJoy resigned effective Monday. He said earlier in the month that he asked Elon Musk’s government efficiency team for help with a variety of issues.

He appointed Deputy Postmaster Doug Tulino as his successor until the Board can name a permanent replacement.

DeJoy asked the Postal Service Board of Governors last month to start looking for his replacement.

At the time he wrote: “As you are aware, I worked tirelessly to lead 640,000 men and women of the Postal Service into an extraordinary transformation.”

“We served the American public through a pandemic unprecedented in history, a period of high prices and sensationalized politics.”

DeJoy assumed the leadership of the US Postal Service in summer 2020, during the first term of President Donald Trump. DeJoy was a Republican who had owned a logistics business before taking office. He was also the first postmaster-general in almost two decades to not be a career employee of the postal service.
