[QUOTE="air_upser, post: 201502, member: 88"] Good post. IMHO NJ is suffering from going public and the money thrown at people in the early 90's to keep them around. I know many folks that were made 2 unit "individual contributors" simply to make up the pay difference between UPS and the internet startups. Times have since changed and things are being done to reduce the number of those folks. Everyone says it here. .. Going public has changed the way UPS does business. I don't consider upper management partners anymore, and I'm pretty sure they don't consider us partners anymore. Before, it was all about the long term. Now, it's about the quarter. Before, local management had responsibility and decision-making ability. Now, we are simply pawns. As a manager, partner and shareholder in this company it takes me 3 hours of paperwork and phone calls to make a 5 minute visual inspection on a piece of equipment that I designed, installed, and support. I have so many emails, reports, and phone calls to make when something breaks I literally don't have time to fix the problem. It's incredibly frustrating for most people in IS. We have too many generals that need to justify their position while we do everything we can to make sure UPS runs smoothly. [/QUOTE]
