I'm an ex-UPSer as well. I didn't find out about BC until after I left UPS, otherwise I would have been here when I was still working at UPS. I considered myself a lifer (18 years at UPS) and thought I'd retire there. However, a few events gave me some new perspective:

The district's G.O. was downsized from about 150 admins to about 50 (PCA's gone, Pricing group gone)

The district hub eliminated some functions as well (DRG gone, etc)

District level servers (AIS, PCIS, ODS, CARES, etc) replaced by centralized web apps. As this was a logical move, it still meant less things to support.

Regional TSC's eliminated and consolidated.

TSG under scrutiny to justify its existence via PMT. Proactivity no longer beneficial. Micromanagement becomes prevalent. Integrity becomes a gray area.


As safe and secure as I felt working for UPS for all those years, I got worried. But you think you will be fine because if you do have to find another job, you have technical skills. That's where I was wrong. I have several certifications (that got me nowhere at UPS by the way) and a degree, but I quickly found out that my skills were outdated working at UPS. I keep in touch with my old co-workers and I remind them that they need to update their skills above and beyond what they do at UPS if they want to survive in the real world (and not just go back to being an operations WAD).

So yes, I come here to check the dying pulse of TSG. It's kinda like driving past a car crash, you don't want to look at it, but you do anyways.

i wish you would have stayed away

I can understand wanting to feel in the loop of the place you used to work, but I was pointing out how ImpactedTSG is so negative across the board. UPS sucks, the Teamsters suck, Obama and Clinton suck, gay people suck...in fact, everyone and everything in the world that isn't this gloomy tool suck.

Yeah, but the guy has had a chance to see the rest of the world. People at UPS are kinda like overly patriotic Americans. They know the company has faults, but still think it is the greatest thing on earth.

Once you get away from it all, you see things more clearly.

I think ImpactedTSG feels the need to save people who don't think they need to be saved. The more the truth is told, the more it is rejected.

Thanks Sev 8. I may be opinionated and over the top at times, but I honestly believe everything I say like you said, based on what I have seen both at UPS and outside UPS.

See brown4..... Your intentions are not light hearted. You received an insult and directed another insult towards RJ.

It goes back to the Lose / Lose equation you are part of.

Personal self-imposed ban in process. This forum is a distraction from growing the business.

Good luck all - think brown.
