[QUOTE="Cezanne, post: 138915, member: 5104"] Getting back to the orginal post about job cuts, considering that with most cuts with major corporations the first ones to go are from the white collar sections, especially with the workforce being represented by a union. Presuming that the higher salary, long term management employee would be target number uno, most should be well taken care of with their many years of collecting MIP, when it meant something anyway. Most corporations present an early out retirement option, or buy out with severance, didn't we have one in the middle nineties. Any low level OMS, part time supervisor and front line full time supervisor need not worry, most earn their keep. Mid level staff or support people may be on the look out for some position changes, similar to what the TSG people are going through currently. As far as this bickering about what the educational level of the average package car driver, consider that most of us who went into the full time package car position came from the part time ranks. It took in my region an average of eight to ten years just to be able to bid on one of those positions. Most all the part time workforce during the 70's, 80's and early 90's were obtaining college educations, some actually have their masters. Never underestimate the intelligence of your co- workers unless you live in their shoes or really get to know them, what you see on company time may not be a fair assessment of how smart or clever the employee may be. Most of us put on a face when are feet first cross the security crossing, playing dumb has become a real option and some of us have got it down to an art. [/QUOTE]
