I am keeping up. As a manager, you should be particularly aware of what the rest of the industry is doing and how if affects UPS. If you want to stick your head in the sand and pretend that what other guy does isn't of any consequence, go right ahead. Perhaps you live in a plastic bubble, but the rest of us do not.
Like I said before, we are a small part of this site, and will never be more than an adjunct section. The Brown Cafe is still a BROWN operation, not purple or clown yellow and red.
By the way, how do you get along with your employees? Do you handle them the same way you handle your postings? What's it like to work for a manager with an "always right" attitude like yours? I met a few of the hard-core old school UPS managers when I was there, and all of the regulars were counting the days until they retired, seized-up, or were shown the door. You can pretend it's like the military, but it's not.
