We need to petition Mr Davis to bring back the years old tradition of the festive bird. I never complained about it. Any ideas to bring it to fruition?

I would much rather see the money that was spent on the turkeys donated to a worthy cause.
I have yet to met a UPS employee, whether it be mgt or hourly, FT or PT, who cannot afford to buy a turkey. If I knew of one I would ensure that they did not go without.

Honestly I would rather have a "Thank You" from a direct member of management than a turkey handed to us by an unlucky PT sup picked to stand in a trailer out in the yard.
Our manager pulled us aside this year and thanked us for keeping the yard running smooth this year and I have to admit I was shocked to hear it. We could tell he meant it and that made all the difference to us.
It was a tradition that is older than your years on the planet. Thrown away because of the almighty dollar, when it was a gift for the back-breaking work that every employee gives to the company.
Some give it to charity, some use it for the holidays, and some lay it at the bottom of the freezer for 11 months. Either way, it always was a Thank You not a line on an accounting ledger.
In the late 1920's Jim Casey himself discontinued giving out the holiday turkey.
Unusual circumstances require action. I'm not upset at the loss of a turkey. Now, I am upset if a manager can't take time out to thank his / her people for a great peak season and hard work.
P-Man
That was the beginning of THE GREAT DEPRESSION
This is a recession, big difference (I know, time will tell)
I would agree more if the company wasn't safely sleeping on a pile of money. Not as much as last year, but it's still a big pile.
Merry Xmas, P-man
