[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 616893, member: 7966"] You are probably right. People who are looking to change and are good are the ones who have left and will continue to leave. Some people that are good like the stability of UPS but that is changing too. Some are leaving now and not waiting until March but that could very well be what is desired ... no one is being replaced. That is not a fair assessment. Other than the CIO, the referenced people are not actively involved in technology. They understand the value of applied technology but their job is to run a transportation company. The next level of management are really the ones that decide where we apply our technology dollars and that is who one can blame if one wants to blame someone. The question is, technology just like buildings and package cars, is a business investment. Is UPS getting a good ROI? So how much and where do we need to make technology investments that will provide services and cut cost at UPS? Based on feedback here, Telematics was not the place but all the negative feedback is from where Telematics squeezes the impacted. Time will tell whether applied technology in the Delivery and Pickup area is a good ROI. WorldPort and hub automation seems to providing ROI. Newer buildings with better ergonomics and inherrent applied technology seems to be providing good ROI. It appears that there is very poor ROI in what we invest in UPS.com but again, that is not the fault of the technology workforce but that layer of management that decides what we invest in this area. Luckily, that amount seems to be decreasing. [/QUOTE]
