[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1238415, member: 43436"] Some analysts have speculated that UPS has inflated its profit by decreasing capital improvements & investments within the company. Circa 2007, UPS informed us that they would break ground on a new area facility located in the heart of the sprawling suburbs. When the facility was complete, it would replace two 1960s-era facilities and one small, single-belt facility. These plans have been scrapped indefinitely & UPS has relinquished the land. The current network structure is good for the labor market -- probably twice the number of PT jobs, yielding 25 hours or more per week, but incredibly expensive & inefficient. At least one building has special additional handling procedures (re: dedicated PT jobs) for monstrous packages such as Pottery Barn, since it cannot accomodate such packages without excessive damages. I'm aware upper-management has made these decision, but even they have to be concerned with the long-term impact of such decisions. Of course, most are probably pocketing huge bonuses from status quo, and won't be around/have no interest in the future. [/QUOTE]
