I have heard that there are an excessive # of mgmt personnel that have left this year in our district, and the District mgr now needs to find out the reason why. I have a pretty good idea, but we'll see if anything is ever addressed. And yes, there are a # of stress cases that our district is dealing with, and like someone else said, these are over 30 yr employees that all of a sudden are not good enough for UPS standards. Although they helped to contribute to the outstanding growth of the company through those years. I think of all the management folks through the years that were not very book smart, but could figure out how to move packages efficiently and therefore turned a profit. Now, we have very smart people, but someone (far removed from operations) is waaaaayyy smarter and tells them how to move pkgs much more efficiently. Why promote people if we don't want to take advantage of their skills and knowledge? By the way, the people that helped to grow this company are now multi-millionaires and those of us left hope to receive a decent pension, because if we are dependent on stock, we are going to be in real trouble (especially after today).
