[QUOTE="pauliep1_98, post: 77561, member: 1439"] I am an ex UPS'er who did my 22 years (I left in 1998). I worked in quite a few different functions (hub, package centers and staff departments). In the late 80's & early 90's they started outsourcing lots of stuff. Once non-UPS people started getting involved the feeling of everyone being defensive and uptight became the norm rather than the exception. It is amazing to me how the company got away from alot of the ideas that the founders put into place that helped make the company grow. When I left it amazed me how many people were just there to get a paycheck and how confrontational management, hourly, and union people had become with each other. The original founders must be turning over in their graves. The fact that they are and will continue to downsize by eliminating hourly employees just continues to follow the same pattern. When I joined UPS in the late 70's it was an honor to be an employee, when I left it was no longer the same company I had watched grow. The "Big Idea" has gone into space! [/QUOTE]
