[QUOTE="Re-Raise, post: 730218, member: 16501"] I guess it is because at the top levels decisions are made that they feel will do the most to increase value for the shareholders. Many of these decisions make life more difficult for the employees. I own stock in UPS as well as a lot of other companies. I cash the the dividend checks and like it when my investments go up in value because a company has increased it's profits. But at some point they have to ask at what cost? Are we really better of as a company in the long term with a disgruntled workforce, to appease the markets and reward fat cat investors? I think we all know the only thing management can really do to improve profits at UPS is increase demand, which is mostly out of their control, or improve the productivity of it's work force. Our productivity has about peaked , and therein lies the problem [/QUOTE]
