50% MIP, 12k employees being cut

[FonzieG]

You heard wrong cuz the majority of those 12k coming straight outta the ivory towers around the world. How many bean counters and chair spinners does one really need

So what you're saying is, the Air will arrive on time now, right?

 

[FonzieG]

I’m still expecting those air conditioned package trucks!!

Man you better run it by the car wash guys. I hear the AC units are going to add a lot of extra work.

Do you mean mechanics?

 

[BrownFlush]

Would you invest in a company with a 1% growth rate?

UPS has always meant long term.

The server was down for a couple of hours..not that I am not paranoid…

That was weird...we had the same thing during negotiation. Did UPS make a call to the owner of the website hosting?

 

[anonymous23456]

It’s funny that some are acting as if the sky is falling due to “only” making 24 billion instead of the projected 25 billion

Wall Street...not Main Street.

Don't steal any office equipment when you're clearing your desk out.

You should see some of the desks...they were purchased in 80s. It looks like Goodwill store.

These 12000 management and corporate positions will not be the last cuts this year. Carol will realize how redundant and unnecessary most of the corporate positions and departments really are like the CMO.

What is CMO?

Maybe so but another division that needs a haircut.

I'm not a fan of marketing, but how do you attract new sales when they have no one they can pick up the phone for?

Carol wants to win back lost customers and win some more pharma shippers, how is she going to do that and keep what we have when all the customer problems-solvers are gone

Forced out, at least partly due to discrepancies in reporting of DAP results. Among other issues no doubt.

Do you believe there is a single business in this country that doesn't know what UPS is? Or how to dial 1800PickUPS?
We should outsource a sales team to answer those calls paid on commission only and to set up those new accounts.
Problem solving should be done on a local level by local management including setting up shipping systems at all accounts. BAM just saved (made) the company billions

Customer problem solvers LOL the ones I knew created more problems than they ever solved here’s just one example told 4 shippers on the same pickup run. Yeah no problem you can be the last pickup of the day

Just 6 long years..2 million dollar buy out and a pension to boot…

 

[What's your ETA]

They shouldn't have cut air drivers.
They should have left resi commits at 10:30
They should have kept the 1500 commit on buisness savers.
They shouldn't have cut drop box times.
They shouldn't have cut bulk vans and sent package cars for 4 skids. ( my customers don't like this)
They shouldn't send you out on Monday with 4 bulk stops across 70 miles when every customer likes them early.

UPS used to be flexible and I think a lot of our customers feel like we don't want their business.

The word you’re looking for is “Service” Wall St controls 72% of our stock now, you can delete it from our name because It’s gone forever.
