[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 246441, member: 10234"] If you continue to make cuts to "grow the stock value", You'll most likely "cut" yourself right out of business in the long term. It's like chasing your tail. When the company was private, the stock almost always grew every quarter. It was a slow steady growth. Those that owned the stock were in it for the long haul. And while I still suspect that the majority of stock is still held by those same people (employees and partners of UPS), the "value" is being determined by those shares owned by the public. Bad deal!! Cost cutting is an ongoing process and is vital to the success of a company. But some of the cuts being made seem to be knee jerk reactions to the stock market in an attempt to "grow the stock value". Most of these cuts are at the expense of service. Service is all we offer. A choice has to be made to "grow the business" or "grow the stock". If you choose the latter, at the expense of the first, the company will whither and die. In my opinion, if the company is to survive the next 100 years, they need to somehow buy back that publicly held stock and return to a "privately held company" status. Making prudent cuts in cost and return to rewarding their employees and partners with a steadily (albeit slow) growing stock. Of course many at the top could probably care less whether the company lasts another 100 years. [/QUOTE]
