It was announced on June 1st that CTSG would no longer exist and would now be placed into the computer operations department.
One could argue for and against the value that CTSG brought to the organization and this post isn't to debate that, this post is to let the truth be told about the personal injustices that took place with
this "decision"
By placing CTSG into computer operations we were told in the corporate communication would "streamline" efforts. Why? Because they both "deploy" applications to the field. That makes sense if that was all the CTSG did, but it isn't and again this post won't go into justification of CTSG as a department.
What I will discuss are the injustices done by the portfolio manager of Scared Services when making this move.
How were people affected by this decisions notified about this change?
Now let's look at the distortion of the truth that these same, so called leaders, communicated to us personally in a conference room on June 1st at 1PM.
They told us that this move was a resource neutral decision, that isn't true there are 33 people that have been or will be affected by this dimwitted decision.
30 people in computer operations will now be subjected to a proficiency test that will be used to determine who will be offered an opportunity in the company and who will be asked to leave
3 managers were demoted and will have their pay reduced accordingly.
The three managers that were told they no longer have a position in the company have 77 years of service between the three of them.
We won't know the fate of the 30 people in computer operations for a few more weeks but I wish them the best of luck.
So...
The answer to all of this is simply that the scared services portfolio manager has a personal issue with all three of these managers.
The decision to demote these managers was not based on availability it was based on his personal disdain for these managers because they questioned him over the years and no one can do that without paying a price.
I wish the 30 people in computer operations good luck with the challenges they face in the coming months and I wish the displaced managers well as they are tossed aside like spoiled fodder.[/B][/B]

- Manager number 1 was removed from a commercial airline by an attendant and instructed to call his HR manager.
- Manager number 2 was called by the corporate HR manager and told not to get onto a scheduled flight but to report to the Mahwah building
- Manager number 3 was told he had to be in Mahwah at 7am to sign paperwork.

- One manager spent more than 12 years in Asia and Europe for UPS
- Two of the managers have moved their families multiple times, children had to leave friends, spouses had to get new jobs and memories are left behind all for UPS.
- Two of the managers hold an MBA
- All three of the managers are now faced with the prospect of having to sell their home and move due to the cut in pay they are now faced with.
We won't know the fate of the 30 people in computer operations for a few more weeks but I wish them the best of luck.
So...
- Why is it that there is a manager in computer operations that is still a division manager after he told the company he couldn't relocate nine months AFTER he was promoted. His promotion was to be in Atlanta now he is in Mahwah at the same level. But the three CTSG managers were told there are no openings at their level.
- Why is there still going to be an option manager job in the old CTSG reporting to computer operations, that will not be filled by one of these mangers?
- Why wouldn't one of these managers have been offered the position that the ex region manager currently holds? He is retiring soon, why not move one of them into that job. (ex region manager due to being caught sleeping with his HR manager, which is a story unto itself)
- Two other retirements have been announced that will take place in the coming months, why not place these people in those positions?
