[QUOTE="upser1, post: 891811, member: 37976"] Hello all, was browsing and read some of your replies to the harassment subject and felt it was necessary to reply myself. Morale throughout the company is down. "KingOfBrown" is wrong when he says ups didn't lose anything during this economic crisis. Ups, like most companies, lost a great deal of money during this crisis. Just think what the case would be if DHL hadn't stopped shipping domestically when it did. In order to survive and thrive in this crisis, ups had to make cuts. HR staffing was downsized and even contracted out to other companies. The whole management structure was completely remodeled, creating greater responsibilities for upper management, making accountability a major issue. But to make it easier to understand on a local level, stops per car rose, drivers and part timers are being held accountable more than ever. "But why are they trying to make my life so hard?," is something you probably ask yourself. It's not on purpose. The company really is losing money and though the goals are set and accountability is there, the goals aren't being met. It's true that management rides poor performing employees and at times don't treat there employees with dignity and respect, maybe the cause would be better served if management explained the intensity of the issue to its workforce. To be honest though, should they really have to? I make over $75,000 a year, I own my home, drive a brand new car, my wife stays at home to take car of our daughter, point is I don't know what I would do without this job. Where else can you go and make this kind of money for the work we do. Its frustrating to see drivers complain non stop about stop counts, load quality, bulk, etc.. We make an incredible living doing this, why not step up to the plate when the company needs us most. Why be a problem employee?
