[QUOTE="35years, post: 2254762, member: 60822"] Does UPS make more profit as a percentage of revenue than they used to? I seriously doubt it. Was going public the cause of the current profitability or perhaps...The rise of the internet along with the rise in global commerce which UPS positioned itself for long before going public? Drivers that have been around a while can see the change in the company. Day to day operations no longer coalesce with long term strategies. You have managers saying things like "Follow ORION trace even if you know a more efficient way of doing your route". The entire workforce is now just trying to stay under the radar by meeting arbitrary matrices instead of doing what is right. But UPS's troubles are just a reflection of the demise of western civilization as a whole. 10 years for looking OK as a company and a country is optimistic in my book. [/QUOTE]
