LOL. We got a big laugh when listening to that song.
LOL. I'm sure they still want your honest opinion.

See what happens when you complain about something.
My hope is that "What can Brown do for You?" will stick in our customer's and the general public's mind until we come out with a new one.
The reaction at work today was mixed.
People seemed to like the song ... at least in the video.
The concept that UPS, and especially the future of UPS, is Logistics is a 10 year old message that still rings true (anybody can pickup and deliver packages).
The new slogan/jingle was received with a lot of furrowed brows and general consternation.
Hopefully, the follow-up advertisements will do something to emphasize logistics and make sense of and bring context to the new slogan.
An advertising campaign is an interesting process and time will tell ... perhaps we can revisit 1 year from now.

I heard we will sing it before every shift starts.
It'll be a requirement, just like the 8 and 5 steps, and as it was the HABITS.

I think anyone who can go to work Monday and used the word "consternation" in a coherent sentence should be given the day off.

Maybe it was constipation ... it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Consternation, I like it. I think I'll have to try using it at work sometime. It's less likely to get me in trouble like "
rdly" is.I also wonder if my sort is going to be subjected to the video song. I'll find out in a couple hours I guess.

It is a word, it means stingy or miserly. The actual way I used it was "Stop being so
rdly about hub start time."

Don't use the word castigated around STUG either ... it makes him nervous.
