[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 671114, member: 4816"] P-Man, As a retired UPSer with real insight into this restructuring--as you probably know --this plan was being looked at over ten years ago when the consultants pointed out to us the "Profit Center" structure the very successful DHL company had in Europe. I would certainly hope that all UPS people will support and make this drastic change work. But I believe it would be bad to misslead "frontline" management. Many years ago when drivers yelled about too much work on the car --the frontline supers ran around taking five to ten stops off --building wild split cars --driving additional expense. Pas and technology changed all of that --all "dispatch decision" making was taken away and will never come back --especially now. District managers --many of them very talented --have seen a few Districts consolidated over the years--did not really effect them--sense of security. With 46 Districts going to 20 --HARSH REALITY will set in. In Europe under the DHL Profit Center --you made a Profit or you were gone !! This will put a much different spin on things --with the help of technology everything will be highly micro managed ----REV per PC ---vs Cost per pc. If you really believe a "surviving" District manager will delegate and leave decisions such as dispatch to the front line --I usually agee with your posts ----but just think about this !!!!!:sad-little:There will be strict rules and much stricter penalties for disobeying them !!!! As I stated on a different thread --it will take time --but with "high Revenue Volume" --Many of these very large new Districts --will become alot smaller employee wise-- but much more profitable --time will tell --it will be a fairly long process!!:wink2:The "Kinder" "Gentler" UPS is a thing of the past. No dead weight Management or hourly --do the job -get RESULTS or be gone !!! [/QUOTE]
