[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1244378, member: 32753"] So, what can be done about the under-staffing situation? Again, not only may it not be cost-effective to have personnel and facilities for the most part idling during the year for 4-5 days of peak, but most people [I]don't[/I] want to work that kind of shift as well; they will turn down a position seen as temporary, or if they only work 2 or 3 days a week they may quit. How can this be managed? Is the cost necessary in the long run? BTW, Hoax I do hope ground is proving to be more profitable and have more staying power than it was thought; that could lead to the much needed beefing up the infrastructure needs. Also, you suggested that behind closed doors execs for major retailers would feel UPS did better than FedEx. Why? [/QUOTE]
