[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1079915, member: 7966"] I think this could be a definition in the context in which you used it: [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]I have not seen apathy myself.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]I see people who prioritize other aspects of their life more so than the "old-timer" UPSers did. We gave up our life Monday - Friday and for many a part of their weekend.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]I think this is a societal change in America and it is also the reduction in total compensation, especially when UPS Stock growth and stock stability and security are considered.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000] UPS use to be a "paternal" company that took care of it's employees from cradle to grave.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]UPS was one of the last and HR has specifically stated that UPS "ain't your daddy anymore." It is unrealistic to think that a person who started with UPS in 2000 to have the same dedication and loyalty to the company as an employee that started in 1970. Their relationship and dedication to UPS is different but not due to apathy. It's just a different situation with different expectations and rewards on each side of the equation. Some of the old-timers still blindly cling to outdated values and expectations but they will be gone before too long and even more change will take place. Those outdated values and expectations include taking care of a UPSer in retirement. I am personally concerned if and when that time comes because their replacements probably will not care about retirees as much either. Hopefully this is a bit too much "doom and gloom" on my part ... the changing of the guard could be more positive and balanced.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
