UPS is a disgrace

Come on man I.E. makes the plans.

No, we don't. We enter them into an Excel spreadsheet. Upper management tells you what the plan is.

 

[dudebro]

initially the plan is just to handle the work that we currently have

The gamble is that in the future we will have more business volume because of our additional offering now

He's right.

And the BD group has this growth built into their plans right now. And we're building hubs like the ones we've publicly announced in Atlanta and Salt Lake City to handle the additional volume. There will be great focus on ensuring we have the revenue base to support the jobs.

The question, as always, is, will we hit it?

So you fail to plan for most likely scenario, sounds like a brilliant idea.

Someone in that management org chart is an idiot, and it's not FrigidFTSup. The local management has no control over the air trailer arrival. Whomever is misusing the "planning to fail" cliche in that instance should have curly, pointy hair like the Dilbert guy.

Based on what I.E.(you) enters into the Excel spreadsheet.
Thanks for playing.

It's not about the customer anymore. Share holder is king.

okay that's fine but late airs impact the customer and the shareholder

there's plenty of examples to make light of corporate greed but late airs aren't one of them...

I remember UPS stating that over 15 years ago.

I don't think Jim Casey had you in mind when he said, "Determined men can do anything".

ok tough guy. you head over to the airport, stand on the runway, and act "determined". see if it helps. I'll finish the preload on time with a plan that has a chance to work.

the simple fact is SDF is over worked

that's okay, because certain IE groups have figured out a solution that corporate doesn't realize yet

True in a way - 1100 buildings each think their 100 misflow packages to Louisville don't matter, but they add up.

Can't wait to see the secret plan!

late due to plane problems or weather.... OR hourlys milking the clock cuz they dont have any sense of urgency

 

[wayfair]

Management never listens to hourlies.

whenever i tried to make a suggestion, the response was " you do your job and we'll do ours."

but you were in feeders??

 

[wayfair]

our ups driver takes care of us. that's all we care about.

we know that 99% of the drivers do the best they can with what they can control.

but, but, but..... that 5 day old driveway?
