[QUOTE="ncrtscisme, post: 76765, member: 4721"] Hello, fellow UPSers! Unfortunately, i will not be able to say that for long because i am directly affected by this "layoff". Here is what I know so far. Nothing has been put in writing yet, but I'm hearing it all first-hand: - All 8 TSC departments will be closed down this year (these are the call center technicians, all of them in the U.S...the guys you talk to when you dial 1-888-UPS-TECH) - They will not all be closing at the same time...Portland, OR and Orlando, FL will be closed in Feb...Addison, IL will be closed in May...it goes all the way to Nashville, TN as the last one to close in Nov. - TSG (the "field technicians"...you probably know them as the computer guys in the hubs, centers and out in the field that come and fix your stuff) will have their positions reduced by at least a few in each building. my district has not yet informed us of how much...however, another district very close to us was told all of that information, including where they each individually stand, which really caused an uproar amongst those of us who were (and still are) told nothing at all. - there will be a "LIST" created containing every technician's name by order of seniority (this includes TSC, TSG and external TSG)...in my case, that list will contain all techs in district 46, 47, Region 02 offices, and CACH. - there will be a "LINE" drawn at a yet-to-be-announced place in that list (rumor puts this line somewhere between 6 and 10 years of service as the cutoff) - if you happen to currently work in a position that will NOT be eliminated AND you are above that line, then your job is supposed to be safe. - if you are currently working in a position that WILL be eliminated and you are above that line, you will have the choice of A:leaving and taking a severance package, or B:bumping another tech out of his/her position if they are below that line and currently have a position that has not been eliminated. - if you are below that line, you have but ONE CHOICE: to leave and take a severance package. You can NOT move to an open job in another department. However, if enough people who were above the line leave and as a result there are open positions left over (this would be HIGHLY UNLIKELY), then the people just below that line will be able to stay (with the last pick of job choices, of course). - many more positions will become part-time, which most full-time workers will be forced to have to pass up due to the fact that they probably have a mortgage to pay and family to feed and life to live.
