[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1245326, member: 17605"] Yawn...this PR disaster is a non story. It happens every year. We're always understaffed, we're always at over capacity, and every year little Timmy and Annie gets two Christmases. Do you really think this is going to change what happens at UPS? UPS doesn't give a damn. All they have to do is ride this out for another few days and it'll disappear into the news cycle ether and the 10 minute attention spans 90% of Americans have these days will erase everything else. Amazon will leave and ship with FredEX and others, but their capacities are even smaller than ours combined and they'll be back. I agree the forecasts sucked eggs and the lean and mean strategy backfired, but in my building every single truck available went out. All the rentals...all the old shoulder breakers...all of managements vehicles. Some folks went out with 350 stops and everyone that finished early went out to help. Worst peak ever? Volume wise...sure. Every peak sucks. [/QUOTE]
