Senior Managers Leaving...The Decline Continues

[!Retired!]

because they don't actually WANT to see how things really are. That would just toss a wrench into the whole works and then they'd feel like they actually had to DO something about it.

And we certainly couldn't have that.

Catching the station off guard is a sure way getting rid of some people.

Too much like work. Better to stay in that air conditioned office in Memphis and theorize on what's going on in the field.

True. Heaven forbid the upper management would have to work for a living.

Are they really completely clueless? Fred's latest damage control letter blaming UPS for the bad FedEx Peak publicity had to be knowingly false, right? How could anyone that highly placed within the company not know what a cluster it truly was. Skillful PR, or utter incompetence and an unwillingness to face reality? I'm not sure which, but when lower-level management heads for the exits in the numbers we're seeing at Express, it's a real danger sign that the company is in serious trouble. IMO, they'll never be able to do enough damage control to get the "ship" on-course.

Yes, the iceberg has already struck the ship and water is pouring in at an alarming rate and the managers have pretty much all jumped overboard. All this while Fred's on the intercom saying "remain calm, all is well, the media is blowing this out of proportion, that iceberg was supposed to hit UPS!"
