[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1187407, member: 43436"] Mr. Davis's cost cutting & aggressive management-style has delivered record performances for UPS during the recession, despite a high-cost workforce (although yes, I know most drivers on here believe they're undercompensated). The reality is that per the market's, he's underpaid; he could've accepted a job elsewhere for substantially higher pay. Some of your comments are baffling. UPS needed to be assertive in buying TNT, given rumblings that FedEx would strike first. Unfortunately, European regulators blocked the merger, but $250M was peanuts. AT&T paid T-Mobile [B]$4B [/B]after the DOJ blocked their merger. American Airlines also needed to be assertive but will likely pay US Airways $150M after the DOJ blocked that merger (rightfully so, given the surge in airfares after their compeitors merged). The the Airbus A300 accident? It happened less than a week ago -- just speculation at this point. - - - Gotta wonder: what costs more - the $250M break-up fee paid to TNT, or the accumulation of money of the course of a year that UPS Preload managers pay to FT drivers every day to load their package cars at the end of the day, chasing off $10/hour employees so the Preload managers can artificially inflate their production numbers?
