what do you mean, am I serious? Earning are coming out next week and I wanted to know who feels "all in". Being in sales, I know when my numbers are good I am contrubuting to the bottom line.
Most of the responses are what I expected - if they are good, I have a job. I don't think that is the right attitude, but that is my opinion.
Brown being green is important - for customers. Also, the calenders this year were crap, i hope they never go so cheap again - but it costs money we do not have.
i guess in some sort of romantic way, I wanted everyone to buy in that we are all part of a team.
on another note, some of the posts while I typed this lead me to beleive some of you all forget sometimes that this is a job and not a right.
edit: and maybe I think this way because in management, we have no contract. you can be let go with no excuse and in this economy, I hold my breath every monday when i look at my numbers.
Most companies work like this, but not ups. This could be achievable if mgt would start treating people with respect and as PART OF THE TEAM...they do not in most cases. The driver who is the star yesterday is now the zero today because he was an hour over. These "numbers" are destroying this company, along with moral. I dont think ANYBODY has a problem with production, but the thing that is so frustrating is driver A is slower and has a better time study than driver B who actually is moving FASTER and being more productive but is overallowed by 1.5 daily. The bonus system is going to be the downfall of this company, along with the absolute disregard of the operations side of things toward our customers....and I should probably throw in the total micromanagement of ups people in all areas.
