[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 577613, member: 484"] I wonder how much of that is wall streets blame. Or said another way, how much to blame is our CEO in trying to please wall street. In an environment of double digit returns in many sectors, the pressure is on to the CEO to compete with those sectors for the cash. So then instead of focusing on long term growth of the company, we are focused on giving the higher returns than others. This last quarter, we were one of the very few that showed a profit. But that is not enough, they want to show more. Tie, one of the great things about this site is that you you can have a "knockdown, drag the bodies out" discussion on ideas, agree or disagree, but at the end of the day, we all still bleed brown. Even after leaving UPS almost 4 years ago, there is an intense pride when seeing one of our fleet going down the hiway, making deliveries, or just watching as the UPS man takes care of business. As long as we dont self destruct, there is not another company that can take us down. I was part of that for 33 years, doing my best to live up to the tradition handed down. Still got that pride..........Kinda like the "once a Marine, always a Marine". d [/QUOTE]
