[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 687544, member: 927"] Boiled, You make some excellent points. The world of difference between the district and corporate is incredible. The get it done, no excuses, attention to detail culture in the district is part of the UPS legacy. In the old days, the few hundred people in Greenwhich had it much easier, but at least it was only a few hundred and they already paid their dues. Today, with the thousands in Atlanta (plus the thousands in IS) there are way too many people that don't understand the UPS culture. That fat tail is too often wagging the dog. I'm sure they are working on some important things, and I know there was a good reason for leaving Greenwhich. I personally heard Oz Nelson say that we can't grow to the organization we want to be living in a small leased office in Ct. To some extent he was right, but the bloat needs to be controlled. They have reduced corporate overhead, but not enough. They need to get the same work done with less people (maybe work an extra hour a day) and complete more things and attend less meetings. I know we need Corporate (and IS). I know that they need to be large, but they also need to be efficient just like they expect the district to be. BTW, you are right that this was caused by those here 15 to 20 years ago. As I said in a previous post, growth hid a lot of sins. We can't afford those sins any more. P-Man [/QUOTE]
