[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 473612, member: 484"] While the statement is true, this type of layoff has happened after christmas for well over the last 30 years that I know of. Some years a bit more than others. But if you look at it realistically, UPS put on extra drivers for the peak season. So while you prefer to claim the UPS sky is collapsing, I prefer to see it as the natural ebb and flow of the delivery business after christmas. Most will be back at their assigned jobs by may or so, just like it has been forever. Some might not get back till later summer. But that is normal as well. And some might not get back until peak 2009. Seen that as well over the last 33 years. I guess in your 4 years you have not noticed this cycle? As a side note, this is the time for people to 1 Grow the business 2 Take care of the customer like never before 3 Take care of packages like they were ours, instead of treating them like so much crap. Its the little things every day that make the big difference at the end of the year. d [/QUOTE]
