[QUOTE="Rookie Sup, post: 196331"] I have to agree with those posts about moral and allowing the centers run themselves. I am in my 3rd year as an on-road sup. I was hired in as a part-time sup, so no, I was never a teamster. I have seen the cycles this company goes in and this one I hope ends soon. I came in at the end of Jim Kelly's career and remember the days of the operations being allowed to make the decisions required to get the job done and take care of their people. It disgusts me that my hands are tied in so many aspects of my job. My employees know that most of the demands and constraints being laid on the center are coming from much higher up, but I'm the one who has to pay the consequences of the negative atmosphere and being unable to answer the question of "why are they doing this to us?" That doesn't mean that I feel everyone should just run amuk and no one should be held accountable for their job, but I would like to be able to make the decision that I need another route to control hours and make service without worrying if I'm going to miss my stops per car by .5. I think that Mr. Casey is probably turning over in his grave and has been for the past 3 or 4 years. Abuse is getting heaped on to management as well as the hourlies. "Work-life balance" has been a hot topic for a long time now, however at every mention of it, my work day just seems to get longer. Every effort I make to control it myself gets shot down by my superiors. So my question to Mr. Eskew is why don't you just resign? If you truly care about this company, leave. Turn it over to someone who knows how to be an operater and make the machinery of this company run. I realize that we are much more than a small package delivery company any more, but the core business of UPS is small packages. If Mr. Eskew keeps hanging in there, that core is going to disolve and take everything else with it. He is not alone in the destruction of the company, but he is at the helm. [/QUOTE]
