[QUOTE="lifegoeson, post: 193701, member: 8664"] Unfortunately, it's every man and woman for themselves in today's working world. Count every day that there is still a pension plan as a miracle. The miracle will end soon enough. UPS is becoming more and more like all other Wall Street-controlled corporations, I pray for the day when the decision is made to take the company private but that's probably out of the question. Personally, I am grateful for the recent buyout although I really wasn't planning on an early retirement so soon. Thankfully job hunting isn't that difficult as UPS's name is still an excellent reference on a resume. Too many good, younger UPS managers have told me they wish they'd been "old" enough to qualify for the buyout (aka SVSO - Special Voluntary Severance Opportunity.) Putting in 18 years as a female in management was not easy. My husband died while I was on special assignment/traveling a great deal. I was incredibly loyal and just carried on working as hard as I could. Now that I was given the "opportunity" to bow out I am finally enjoying life and a new man. There is life after UPS. Mike Eskew (who I know a little from my days in the corporate office) is a really good guy, truly. I respect him. He isn't a hachet man out to kill the partnership legacy. HOWEVER there are plenty of self-serving, corrupt, power-hungry men whose counsel and advice he relys on. We'll see what happens May 10th in Wilmington. [/QUOTE]
