[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 438190, member: 484"] the great down turns of the past are no indication of what will be coming for next year. been around when most of the current driving force were still using diapers. carter era was the worst in my opinion. when you could get a loan, you would be expected to pay 23+ % on a home loan. what makes this one worse, and more subject to layoffs is that we went public, so we cant take care of just ups(ers) who where 100% of the stock holders, but now we have to take care of the stockholders that dont have a clue about the ups culture and past. and they dont care, all they want is the return on investment. we also have taken on a whole series of management level jobs. they actually dont actually move things, they just tell everybody else what they need to do, and how to do it better. and with the ceo mindset of a few years back, people that actually did the work were not as valuable as the engineers that planned and directed the dance. and the person that keeps track of the package where abouts is more important than the actual delivery of the package. so it will be interesting how "across the board" the cuts will be. consolidation and retirement options are not going to be enough. d [/QUOTE]
