[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 1620777, member: 22760"] Yes so true, you could actually sort your load and think for yourself as how to best run your route on any given day. Make service a priority as always. Going out of your way to meet customer demands without having to ask some knucklehead for permission. No complaints, no driver follow ups.The green sheets looked great..Now start to add a 3 pm commit times in the early 80's for NDA, then noon, then down to 10:30, add more weight to packages, increase volume overseas, go public. Service then became a daily juggling act. The tentacles were creeping around the world and slowly but surely the braintrusts in Greenwich, then the "What can Brown Do for You?" crowd in Atlanta decided that answering to the shareholders was more important than to the customers that made UPS the global behemoth it became.. With the Fat Cats on the board, Less and less chance for advancement for center manager's, on cars etc as centers got larger with more workload dumped on them. Districts and Regions consoliadate, and the Fat Cats keep squeezing every drop of blood out of those under them, laughing all the way to the Bank [/QUOTE]
