[QUOTE="ncrtscisme, post: 77281, member: 4721"] while tieguy is right about keeping things calm and not spreading any misinfo, his assumption that other positions will open is unfortunately wrong...at least, for our region it is. he assumes that many techs will be allowed to take other positions within the company, and i can only guess that he thinks that because that is how it was always done in the past with other consolidations. however, this time seems to be quite different because we are not allowed to move to any other departments. in the past, open jobs would be "frozen" for some time just before a consolidation would happen, thus leaving room for those affected to still have a job. but not in the case...no jobs frozen, and no chance to move to an open job in another department. Mike Eskew talks about our service to our customers as being so important (which of course it is). I've heard external techs talk about customers who had left UPS for fedex because of lower costs, but from what i hear many of those customers end up coming back to UPS because the support is so much better than theirs...well, what do you think will happen when this transpires? Our service will be the same as fedex's, maybe even worse...but then, if they're spending less money on support people then we should follow suit right? I don't think so. [/QUOTE]
