[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 53178"] yeah right, I'm not management so therefore the stock I own I have bought. That said, you keep talking because I believe you voice is a lot more out there than the folks with brown colored glasses want to believe. Whether management hours and compensation is right or wrong I'll let you guys hash that out but I do believe UPS is becoming more and more shortsided chasing a stock price than it is focused on the business. You focus on the business first and the rest will follow IMO and I honestly believe we've lost that. This won't set well but it needs to be said anyway.
