[QUOTE="randomUPSISer, post: 681720, member: 24399"] Less automation people automating things? I agree less region IT guys supporting stuff thats supportable from far away. However, all of these cost savings and productivity items you mention are, as you said, due to IT guys enabling them. Why would you get rid of people that make everyone else more productive? That defies logic? Especially when multiple times a year IT tells the business "we dont have enough resources for XYZ you want, you'll have to scale that back". Sure, they could outsource it to India or whatever, but that's not happening nearly as fast as people are leaving. That being said, I didnt want to turn this into an IT debate. My real concern / complaint is that we are driving away all of the best of the UPS knowledge workers. That doesn't bode well for us long term unless we intend to hire them all back at higher salaries? Within my work group there are several people who are known paper weights to everyone, including management. Within other work groups Ive been in, there are known paper weights. Management isnt stupid, they know who are worthless knowledge workers and who are good. Wouldnt it have made alot more sense to layoff the deadwood and not drive away the good? Since you are a driver, if you were a manager and didnt have to work around seniority issues, would it make more sense to keep your best drivers and lay off the guys that werent pulling their weight, or just keep everyone, and convince your good drivers to leave?
