I don't disagree with what people are posting here from an emotional what do I desire POV.
My posts here do not represent the way I think things should be or how I would want them to be ... but rather to offer a rational, business approach that helps explain why things are "the way they are".
I relate to your frustrations and concerns because the same driving forces (strong competition and that future doomsday financial realities) affected me and other parts of the company you never get a chance to see. There is no one below Level 20 that has not felt the stress and additional workload caused by UPS's reaction to those driving forces.
And the Level 20's have felt it as well and really even more but their compensation has been increased in the false (???) belief that they will feel a strong commitment to UPS and work 24/7 to do what is "best for UPS" (as defined by the Board and Management Committee).
Even upper management has to be concerned with the decision to scale back on capital improvements within the company.
