[QUOTE="tourists24, post: 495513, member: 11490"] Salesguy, this thread has just shown the disconnect between the heart and soul of this company (operations workers such as drivers,feeders, pt hub/warehouse), and the rest of UPS. As a driver who is 2/3 of the way to retirement, I have seen UPS change dramatically in the last 20 years. It is no longer the main commitment of service; it's all a numbers game. It doesnt mean we dont still care, just that most of the time, it is futile. Mgt has numbers to uphold, and that comes first. I still take pride in what I do, and when I see something that is messed up, I speak up. If that falls on deaf ears, then I simply go back to taking care of what I CAN control (my route). As more and more of our decision making is controlled (running trace, running over allowed, cutting routes, etc), the more and more we simply work as instructed even if it makes no sense. We dont need pep talks from Sales about what "we drivers" need to do for UPS. Drivers have enough on their plate already. We need a major change in the way UPS does business. [/QUOTE]
