Is there anybody at the wheel at UPS that can pay attention to the real world?

[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 543358, member: 484"] One more quick tidbit that is very interesting when discussing the correlation between UPS and GM. GM decided that they did not need a talented workforce. So they automated. As a result, the costs were kept down, but the quality fell. But because of the automated systems, they did need less bodies, and those that remained had brainless jobs that anyone could do. Also, the design and types of vehicles produced were not what America was looking for. So all those lookalike rubber stamp Nascar looking car of the future that very few people wanted kept being put into production. And we all know that the UAW is the party responsible for the design dont we? How is this relevant to UPS? Well, lets start by rolling out later commit times just because Fedex is doing so. After all, we have always been known as the Fedex follower instead of the leader. So lets keep on mimicking Fedex and degrade our next day air, instead of holding to a higher benchmark and letting them play catchup for a change. Give the people what they want and are paying for. I know, what an idea. And lets dumb down the work force. That way, the only people that have to think at UPS is management. But wait, even they are not allowed to think, only IE can do that. Sorry, its because of people like you probe that there never was a chance at there being one UPS, where everyone works as a team. Ever read the book [U]Nuts? [/U] Goes through two union companies, Eastern and Southwest airlines. Know what caused one to fail and the other to thrive? Nope, both are/were union. What caused Eastern to fail and Southwest to thrive was management style. And I see Eastern written all over yours. So you keep blaming the union employees for all the woes at UPS. You will be your own self fulfilling prophesy d [/QUOTE]
