[QUOTE="OrionsBitch, post: 3122206, member: 65132"] I'm just going to state the obvious. It's easier to hire p I'm not speaking on Abbey's character. Frankly I don't like the guy. All I'm saying is taking his salary away is a drop in a bucket compared to operation costs etc. I'm also not suggesting anyone take pay cuts at UPS. All I'm saying is that companies like Amazon are paying their employees far less and they are continuing to grow their logistics. It will become increasingly hard for UPS to compete in certain market segments with operation costs much higher than their competition. That's a simple fact. People can jump down my throat all they want and say I'm a union basher or ass kisser. I'm not. Just stating obvious business and economic principles. If you can provide a service that is almost as good but at a much lower cost, you will win over most of the customers and ultimately outgrow your competition. Now Amazon is a very specific market. Until I see an Amazon driver pick something up at a machine shop and have the box in Thailand the next day, I won't be worried. They can have all that light residential packages. [/QUOTE]
