[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 488846, member: 927"] First, again I am NOT a fan of UPS being public. I think it has shown to be a bad long term decision. First, it was bad for the culture, then it was bad for our younger people, now it is bad for the stock price. That being said, its not true that we would not care about growth if we were private. The need to grow has been part of our culture from the beginning. From expansion beyond Seattle, to common carriage, to 48 state expansion, to International, to Supply Chain Solutions. All that happened as a private company. Casey said: "An expanding business is the only way to provide opportunities for our people. " "Our company has grown because our people have grown, and our people have grown because our company has grown. And so it will be in the future..." So, the need to grow profits is not the issue because we are public. I think if we were private we would still know we needed to grow, but the target would a couple of years from not instead of next quarter. P-Man [/QUOTE]
