[QUOTE="PAUPSGuy, post: 4250119, member: 67271"] Listen its pretty simple, and I'm not the only business guy with any common sense around here. Amazon is inevitably going to flood the UPS infrastructure with volume and then rip the entire rug out from underneath the company. Leaving Abney with his dk in his hand for a quarterly wondering why nobody is playing fair. It's sharky business maneuvers but let's be real here UPS doesn't have any sharks at the helm anymore. Transformation is - Make UPS younger, dumber, and cheaper. Remove all the incentives to pursue a career and see what idiots stick around. They overlook their seasoned crowd and instead of managing them they shift gears to save themselves the leadership challenge. Couriers are easily replaced in the workforce. The majority of these guys have no college, or exit strategy and are straight stranded dropping off cardboard. That includes a lot of management thanks to that 70-20-10 model. Amazon will devour this company in due time if UPS lets them. You don't "strike ground" on a 100 airplane hanger for fun... Watch them but understand unless the leaders at the helm don their shark suits this company is in for major headwinds. Universities aren't even suggesting UPS as a company to pursue for a reason. You don't need a Ph.D. to see what's going on here. Love him or hate him you have to respect Bezos' intelligence/tenacity. What pisses me off the most is that UPS has the talent they just don't know how to maximize on it and unless they revamp/gut their HR arm they are going to bleed out from within. They already are...I mean how many people can say with a straight face they respect, admire, or look to follow their center managers? It's in the single digits.. That man or woman should control the tempo of the results. Not walk their dog at whatever time they want to be done that day. [/QUOTE]
