[QUOTE="Just Numbers, post: 1191392, member: 22877"] Contrary to disbelief, profit should not be considered a dirty word, after all that's how people get paid. But, in retrospect, there is a time and place for everything. I remember when Founders' Day was a really big thing. It was a day to reflect upon the longevity of UPS ( I' m not so sure upon that in the future), how it had survived through a number of severe recessions and the "Great Depression". It was a day to reflect upon the hard work of the previous generation of UPSer's that provided for the company's strength and stability to provide a good job (nobody said it was easy) for the current generation and, the future generation was hoping the same would happen for them. To me that was the essence of the day and a reason to celebrate. No cake? Hell, it's a tax write off anyway, at least until the government takes that away. As for giving out safe driving awards and years of service awards....those are special days to those individuals and should never be incorporated into Founders' Day. The idiot who came up with that bonehead idea, whether it be on a district, regional or corporate level should be slapped on the side of his or her head. Bet that person never put on a set of browns in their life. I'll just end my rant at this point. [/QUOTE]
