I.E. runs this company,

Family Leave Fridays!!!
Bean counters have been running Corporate America & Wall Street my entire life. As UPS didn't go public until the late 1990s, it was largely immune from what most other companies were experiencing.

But I have a problem with UPS's terminology. Industrial Engineering is a sophisticated science typically offered at the graduate level. Yet we have 20-year-olds working at UPS, who possess merely a HS diploma, calling themselves Industrial Engineers because UPS overlabels the department they work in.

Finance and accounting people run UPS.

IE people are just reading numbers from a generated computer program.
I understand that they are the messenger but little more than that.

As Sophocles in Antigone and Shakespeare in Henry IV wrote:

"Don't kill the messenger."

Cost ("managerial") accountants & industrial engineers are often synonymous nowadays.
