How about some rampant speculation?

Our senior manager is out of town for the entire week for "legal training" with all the other seniors in the region. Seems like the kind of thing that only happens when something very BIG is about to happen. Can't be ISP. That was last year's big thing. Any ideas what it could be this year?

The meeting is called Maximizing PSP. Nothing new or earth shattering.

How do you maximize PSP when you don't have any "employees" except handlers?

This PSP stands for Profit in Smith's Pocket.

We don't have PSP at Ground.

We don't have PSP at Ground.

We don't have it at Express either.

The big shiftover.

After your numerous posts about the professionalism and safety (or lack thereof) of Ground drivers and how Ground is one big piece of lawsuit bait because of that and the drivers' employment classification?

I gotta hand it to bbsam. He knows how to stoke the fires and he does it with style. I was searching for something in the forum and saw a post of his. MFE was going on about the big switch (this was from a post 3 or 4 years old) and bbsam dropped in a vague comment and MFE didn't miss a beat in picking it up as "proof"! If you're a big believer in the switch, it would have been somewhat easy to interpret the comment as validating the theory. Otherwise, it was just a vague remark that didn't really imply anything.

My hat is off to bbsam. There's a fancy term for people making irrational assumptions based on their own biased expectations. I can't remember what it is, but he exploits it *perfectly* in MFE.

I think bbsam fully expects a XS/E2 shiftover in the near future.
