[QUOTE="Hawaii50, post: 455979, member: 15838"] I see your point, the attrition part of UPS is unreal. UPS corporate are masters at using the bathtub curve on their employees from management to hourly. Younger mangement who display the ability to strive and overcome all the obstacales within their operation will replace the older managment. Sadly that is life at UPS. Even hourlies experience the attrition. I however think that UPS has somekind of policy where useless/rats hourly employees are identifed and are kept on the payroll. These useless/rats individuals naturally create the attrition within the hourly ranks. From a psychological standpoint, if the hourlies are fighting each other this frees up time for management to do what they have to do. Normally the most productive employees are the ones who have deal with the useless/rats. These employees tend to get angry with the useless/rats. Then the productive employees are terminated for what is interpeted as threating behavior. These productive employees tend to be the higher paid employees. The end result UPS saves money when the release the higher paid guys and hire some brand new kid right off the street at 8.50/hour. In some cases, some kid off street will be just as good or better then productive employee. Like you say UPS saves money, the 8.50 kid can do the job that 12.50 kid did. The UPS policy makers are smart they play hourly employees against each other. "It's all about the numbers this is life at UPS." [/QUOTE]
