[QUOTE="jeepguy63, post: 964109, member: 4863"] Tough place to work lately. Ask a management person to do something - responses include comments about the task vs the persons qpr. Stealth resistance while the "partnership smile and head nod continue." 2nd quarter will be an absolute ball buster. Year over year comps will get tough now that we are out of the weather issues from q1 2011. Increased fuel cost will put cost pressure on the results. Safety is flat to last year. Corp response is to bring 20 to 30% of the districts in to explain how they will turn their safety results around. They now have distributed a YouTube clip from some movie for motivation. (search: motivational football coach teaches how to overcome our limits or facing the giants). Too bad the real message in the video is that this is your life at ups! a). Get identified as a leader. B). State the obvious to upper management - get singled out to be made an example for others c). Put Blindfold on and be asked to perform a difficult task. D). Have someone scream directions to you as you craw through the assignment, blindfolded, and only allowed to use 50% of the resources available. E) Carry other co workers on your back as you labor to exhaustion. friend). Perform the task to the most excellent level possible - while many other team members stand with their arms folded while they watch. G) have your superior scream "motivational" messages in your ear while you set new standards for excellence. H) have your superior "coach" you one inch over the finish line - then say one or two nice things, and then walk off - leaving you totally spent, and near death on the other side of the proverbial goal line. Motivational video - give me everything you got, or life at ups? You'll have to decide! "give me all you got - and you have all you're going to get!" [/QUOTE]
