[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 517566, member: 7666"] Numbers are a way of life in the business world and if you think about it, your personal life as well. Business measure their successes by numbers, be it a production number, profit number, number of jobs needed and employees. And numbers are based on historical data, and I can say after all my years in UPS management, the bar has always been raised. That's not to say the numbers were attainable, but I always took the position if I made improvements from the previous year, to run a more effective operation or increase customer satisfaction, then I could explain my numbers. I had seen UPS management lose their jobs over numbers manipulation, and that was a choice made by that management person. By the same token, I have seen hourly people as well lose their jobs by inflating numbers. In your personal life, you may use numbers to plan your family, how manage a budget, how many pets you can afford, how many cars are needed, how much to save for retirement, and so on. Just my thoughts on the [B][U]numbers[/U][/B] in our lives at work and home. [/QUOTE]
