[QUOTE="iloadthetruck, post: 754630, member: 885"] Don't I wish I was kidding! The reorganization "disconnected" most of corporate from Small Package. The writing is on the wall - we're not the money-maker for the company anymore. We gotta get rid of the "dog" (SmallPkg) and focus on the "stars" (Air & Int'l). Just look at our recent performance - yes, we made money - but not because we tried to do things better or smarter or uniquely. We tightened the belt and slashed costs, raised our performance expectations - but did not make any corresponding investments in how we get business done. Our methodologies are stale, we manage our employees using mostly instinctual hunter-gatherer methods. Scott Davis is a smart guy, but he's not an operations person. He's not interested in the bottom-line improvements that better methods would bring or the competitive advantage that a truly well-run operation will bring. He's only interested in the return on our assets. And Small Pkg is one asset that doesn't return much. [/QUOTE]
