More evidence that they want to get rid of the old UPS family culture.....what's left of it at least.

Comical move at best. Cut cost in the Districts to the bone, but lets add some more Corporate people.

I think they're being hired to do the dirty work of coming in and firing a bunch of people. Just like Price and this guy did at Coca Cola.

Agree with you. We need more people in the Corporate office like I need a few more ex-wives. MIP will go the way of the past soon.

Cool, he can run my route in August.
Maybe he can get 24 packs of Desani water at a discount, need him to stay hydrated, safety is number 1.

They SHOULD get rid of MIP. Instead of a reward for the company doing well it’s become a tool for them to use to adjust management compensation on a whim. It’s based on goals that they make up and don’t publish, and nobody has any control over. They should just roll it into salaries and be done with it. Raise your hand if you’ve been motivated by MIP since they changed it in 2005. I’m with you. I’m out the door so it’s someone else’s problem now.

"Firing" is too harsh a word, try the word "transformation" far more kinder. On the serious side you guys in the middle are in deep, deep trouble, just look on the horizon with the UPS Retirement Plan ending it's vesting and monetary contributions in 2023 (Kind of corresponds to the end of this union contract, if it goes thru). Will Central States become insolvent by them without federal help, the timing is interesting. I have only seen the Operational side of Management on the ground level and from the recent downside they are considered too valuable to lose, everybody else not so.

The one from Coke assisted in cutting 10,000 employees. The other is for xerox. I wonder if he has a Masters degree since that seems to be the requirement for Marketing employees except the management committee member in charge of Marketing

They will be "transformed" from "partners" to unemployed. I'd almost like to be around to see the aftermath and whether anyone dares to call someone a partner after this. That would truly be laughable.

I think Wall Street likes the idea that they can cut mgmt expense in any given year, they wont roll it into a fixed salary.

Not for nothing but a Teamster and say, a Ft hub supervisor have largely the same issues. Upper management is a whole different job.

A hub supervisor is not a manager or really "management" in any way, just a facilitator of someone else's managing.
The transition calls were ridiculous so now if they gave u the August 31st date u can wait as long as October 15th for your buyout. IF YOUR LUCKY. The call seemed to take on the typical UPS tone it’s our way or the highway deal with it. Ups better be careful the way they treat older employees isn’t that what this is about let’s get younger. Lol after 38 years they call it early retirement and they indicate in the paperwork if I stay around till 2027 thats my full retirement age. Hypocrites like they want us around that long

You sound a bit bitter ...
In 2010 I said it would take 20 years to completely turn over the mgt workforce that worked for United Parcel Service.
I left in Jan 2013, and I was already seeing their desire to accelerate my prediction.
Good luck
