[QUOTE="TUT, post: 730269, member: 29298"] And I wouldn't have nothing but full agreement to that. But a UPS employee has many options to invest in other companies that have the same safeness and return as UPS. The thing is in your company as in mine the top people are only looking at what the companies stock is doing as it's huge money in their pocket as it grows [U]and since they have direct control of the company [/U]they are squeezing work conditions assuming this helps the stock #'s, to levels that mankind if he could afford to stop would say "This just isn't right, it isn't worth it, we weren't taught to behave like this, when has the human element in life become secondary?".
