[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 179784, member: 8657"] Personally, in many ways I feel we are going backwards, not forward. Many of you are drivers who are in the center for a few minutes am and pm or the p/t ers who are in the hub for a few hours a day and don't get inside scoops. After having spent many moons at UPS on the "inside" behind Door Number One, and based on personal observations, there some issues I wish would improve- Better cooperation between the hub, package centers, I.E. feeders, the airport, etc. It seems a huge case of sibling rivalry between these divisions and a lot of finger pointing when something goes wrong rather than basic cooperation. I think this company has switched gears to focus on saving money to the extreme. Your sups and center manager's don't share with you how much $ they have to save this month or this year while running their center and this frustration naturally rolls downhill. I often wondered how they should accomplish this; maybe sit in their office all day with the lights off and stop buying TP for the restroom?? Can't tell you the countless inside cost cutting measures I've witnessed across the board because I don't feel they need to be public knowledge, but many of the unnecessary ones seriously affected the morale in their departments, which is a big, fat shame. And, most importantly, I think Jim Casey would be spinning in his grave over this one - the drivers and the hourlies are NOT the enemy. They are the worker bees and without them, what do you think you'd have? [/QUOTE]
