[QUOTE="Jim Kemp, post: 458914, member: 13379"] The problem lies (I believe) when a company spends more time and less money trying to please the stockholder rather than the customer. A path that will eventually come back to bite them in the end. JMO I agree with this and having been here 30 years, I can see that this co. has gone down hill since we went public. What was wrong with the business model that UPS used the 70 or 80 years before? As an employee that is nearing retirement(if I could just get my children out of private schools and into college) I have a huge interest in seeing UPS succeed, that is why I made the facetious argument to begin with. I know mgt. would not believe it but I (and I believe the vast majority of Teamsters at UPS)want to be as efficient as possible, that's why drivers get so frustrated when mgt. does something inefficient such as leaving one pkgs from a split on you to make their numbers look good. "But the preload was wrapped early". No the preload was not "Wrapped Early" it was all stuffed in a truck, It was the wrong truck but what the heck. Out of sight out of mind, the driver will fix it.
