[QUOTE="virtualpro, post: 538562, member: 19891"] I would think the leader of a company with the legacy of UPS and making that kind of money could come with a more innovative way to control costs other than outsourcing, classifying people as LEs then demoting and possibly cutting jobs. All of these options are very demoralizing and unproductive. Maybe if Scott and the management committee were to take a 15% cut; option level managers 10%; 2 Unit 6%; 1 Unit 3% and hourly 1% cut. Renegotiate Consultant contracts or replace. How much would that save? Result: 1. Instead of Off-shore keep the jobs in the US 2. Not add to the US unemployment ranks (Both could also be huge PR wins for UPS) 3. Not reducing staff, keeps people in the UPS IS work force to still produce new applications 4. With all of the systems we have - there is still a need to keep them running & we still need people for that. Layoffs would put the remaining people on overload and our systems and customers at risk. 5. Achieves cost cutting Other options for cost cuts? [/QUOTE]
