[QUOTE="upsdude, post: 57690"] Wow, this thread has more turns than a country road. I may have my head taken off for this but here goes. The UPS culture demands long hours, and many sacrifices. We miss ball games, birthday parties, or just the simple dinner with our families. I dont think any of us expect to be off work the exact same time everyday, but working 2-3 hours overtime everyday does little to promote good morale. Poor employee morale also harms the companys growth, be it UPS or any other company. I think the current problem with excessive overtime began many years ago. If you look back, Jim Casey was never married, never had children, all he had to do was work. He never missed a childs birthday party, never missed a childs school program. He never had to miss taking his wife to dinner on her birthday or an anniversary. He never missed a special event involving his grand kids. All he had to do was work. Im sure he expected those around him to work as well. He built a great company. I often wonder what he would think of UPS today. Im sure he would be proud of the many accomplishments UPS has on its corporate resume. I do wonder what he would think of the morale of his employees. I dont know what the union will push as its number 1 issue next contract, but I do see excessive/forced overtime as a huge player. [/QUOTE]
