[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 478160, member: 4653"] You may be correct Chopstic that any idiot can be a UPS driver. You're right, any idiot can be a UPS driver. Any idiot can graduate college also. I've read that someone with the IQ of 80 can earn BA. The issue becomes how good of a college graduate the "IQ 80" person becomes. I really believe it takes a certain person to be a good UPS driver. Most of us are really good at what we do. The standards management holds us to helps create the best drivers in the industry. Obviously there are the few proverbial bad apples. I think the same applies to management. I think the ones in control at the top are doing a very good job. When you consider everything (the economy, the competition, energy prices, etc.) I think they have done a good job in steering the UPS ship. I don't know the details or results of the Overnight acquisition but I know this: I hear about layoffs everyday. Every company I can think of is laying off employees. As far as I know, UPS hasn't put anyone on the street. Drivers may have been knocked back into the building but they still have a job. All this while still recieving a raise on Febuary 1st. Count your lucky stars UPSers! [/QUOTE]
