[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 668442, member: 9789"] One of my favorite saying is that you should "walk a mile in the other person's shoes". Maybe then you will have a better understanding of what is going on. You may not be able to go on a board of directors to see what they do and what goes on and how much they get paid. BUT, you can do some research and keep an open mind so that you will have a better understanding of what goes on. The comments you have been making are very silly to me and I am sure you are an intelligent person. Jim Casey once said "Our [I]horizon[/I] is as [I]distant[/I] as our [I]mind's eye[/I] wishes it to be". This still holds true today. UPS is doing what it needs to do to be here another 100 years. You need the best minds on the Board of Directors to give advice and help our Management Committee steer this ship on the right course. Should the company be like GM and wait until it goes bankrupt before it does a course correction??? Doesn't 7 quarters of negative trends in small package mean something needs to change??? A good manager and leader requires a skill set that transcends UPS. A well functioning board will have successful leaders who have a knowledge base in all facets of your business and who bring strengths from outside our narrow corporate structure. These areas include - International - Business Law - Human Resources - Technology - Tax & Finance - etc. etc. etc. - My guess is that there is someone on the board who is an expert at restructuring business flow and reducing redundancies. Like I said... Do some research on the general concepts of how - what - why of a board of directors. This may give you a better understanding and more confidence in who is running your company.
