[QUOTE="hoser, post: 142995, member: 6357"] You're right, times have changed since the 1920s. Now every day consumers can ship packages with UPS, even using company-supplied boxes instead of brown paper boxes tied together with string. Now casual consumers can not only ship, but know where their package is and the status of that package. Now hubs are automated and have higher productivity, cutting costs. Now inventory control is done through wireless scanning devices, deliveries are done with information acquisition devices that are no larger than a binder (and could be way smaller if UPS chose). Technology has advanced, and employees have to adapt. This technology exists so we can deliver EVERY package EVERY day. Gone are the days when our only accounts were blue-chip companies and mail order services. Missed scans piss off customers, and cause disasters when traces are being done. To suggest that doing departure scans is a sign of "the company (heading) toward the crapper" is just ridiculous. You obviously don't know what a failed company (let alone a failed fortune500 company) looks like. Here's the thing: UPS' core systems approach has not changed since 1907. Get employee. Highly regiment employees tasks. Work employee into ground. Automate where it's most efficent and cuts costs. Fordism. You are; this is UPS, employees aren't supposed to be empowered or to take pride in their work. Your job is to work as directed. Having express shipments get burned is none of your business, your 20 year old supervisor would take the heat for that. Work as directed. Scan packages. Maybe you should quit before you do something stupid [I]again[/I]. You wonder why a 20 year old is the boss and you're not? You should get and get a job in a mill if you're this immature and have such explosive temper when faced with the slightest adversity. UPS could do well without this crap in its workforce. [/QUOTE]
