[QUOTE="ncrtscisme, post: 76817, member: 4721"] I agree with Tieguy in the fact that you should be thankful we aren't losing as many jobs as ford's employees. However, ford's reason for doing it is that it took a lost of 1.x billion dollars over the year...UPS, I can almost guarantee, will announce a PROFIT of over 3 billion dollars for last year. Will the board of directors vote to give themselves another 7.5% raise this year, when the rest of us can get no more than 3? Probably. Will UPS be able to achieve an even higher profit for next year by cutting down so many tech support employees? Of course...but when will it end? When every drop of blood and sweat is squeezed out of our drivers and loaders and when upper management makes more money than they can spend, will that be enough? Doubt it. We claim to put so much emphasis on technology here at UPS, but when the price of this becomes the jobs of those who worked to put this technology into place is it really worth it? Sorry, don't mean to be on the soapbox for too long... [/QUOTE]
