[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 303164, member: 10234"] It's pretty hard to "make a difference" when you are insulated from those that make the decisions. If you're suggesting I (or anyone) go into management to "make a difference", I don't think it works that way anymore. The management I am in contact with on a daily basis, while most likely capable of "making a difference", take there orders from above and seem to be generally in fear of losing their jobs should they even try to make a change not authorized from above. That's not for me. In my opinion......if your goal is to try and please the stockholders (those whose only association with UPS is their money), you just end up chasing your tail. While you're going in circles, your customers are going elsewhere (not to mention some good employees). Those investors don't care about the company, the employees or anything other than their bottom line. They'll milk the cash cow until there's nothing left and then they'll move on. A company has to be fiscally responsible. But the reason should be to ensure [U]its'[/U] survival, not to ensure the suvival of its' investors. In the last 10 years I've seen a lot of good money thrown at bad ideas. Some of the ideas had merit, but the implementation was horendous. Until control of an operation is relenquished back to the center manager level, things won't get any better, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
