[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 507813, member: 927"] Red, Here is some more on what I see. Yes, its hard for the sups. Its been 25 years since I was a supervisor in operations but I havn't forgotten the long hours and hard work. They (as with all management) got no raise and lost the 401k match. That loss hurt me too, but lets assume less so. So, here's the other side. UPS management committee could easily have cut our pay as FedEx did. They could have layed off management as happened to many of my neighbors. They could have reduced benefits beyond the previous plan for 2009. They didn't do any of these things but took a middle of the road approach (for now). They explained this well. They are waiting for the company to start growing again. If it doesn't..... They have asked us all to do our best to simultaneously: - Maintain our current high service levels - Reduce cost - Grow the business If we do these thing, the young supervisors (and drivers) will be fine. If we don't..... Scott Davis said that in these times, companies will emerge in one of three positions: - Non existent - Damaged - Stronger and more focused Opportunites for our younger people will be minimal for a while. They will need to be prepared for when they come back again. P-Man [/QUOTE]
