[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 434766, member: 12570"] Channahon brings up an excellent point in her post. Diversification and the ability to adjust to changing conditions are chief among the factors that will ensure UPS weathers this economic storm. It is no secret that our operating costs far exceed those of our competitors so we must worker smarter, not harder, to maintain and even expand our position in the industry. Reducing costs is mandatory yet must not come at the expense of service. SuperSup, I don't know what your problem is, but you need to back off on the condescending attitude. The vast majority of us work our butts off, do it with pride and with the needs of the customer first and foremost. Yes, we are very well compensated for our efforts with a benefit and pension package second to none in our industry, but your constant attempts to belittle us reflect upon you both as a supervisor and as a person. Stating that "your ability to read and write overqualify you to be a Teamster" serves no purpose other than an attempt to justify your place in this world. I consider myself to be well educated and could find employment elsewhere which may more closely match this but I choose to work here primarily because the wage and benefit package that I have enjoyed for the past 19 years have allowed me to put my 2 kids through college, provide myself with a comfortable home and the knowledge that I will have a secure retirement. Do I like my job? No, but as an adult you quickly learn that you do what you have to do to provide for yourself and your family. May I suggest that you take a moment and read some of the posts that you have made here and ask yourself if you would appreciate someone talking about you in this manner. I am thankful that you have never been nor ever will be a supervisor in my center. [/QUOTE]
