[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5118512, member: 93115"] UPS won't fail because drivers have beards or their shoes aren't polished or they are pushed (harassed) to meet requirements that boomer drivers never were so they can't provide the same level of service. It will partially fail because they allowed a new competitor to grow. A complete management failure along the lines of Blockbuster not buying or stopping Netflix. They subsidized Amazon building a delivery service by charging such low rates and then once they found out they were going to be a competitor not a customer: they still allowed them to use the service piecemeal (choosing to give UPS their rural and less profitable deliveries). They instead should have cut them off at their knees all at once during a customer sensitive time--like peak season. So instead of saying you want to roll out a competing delivery service: you better do it overnight--UPS let them slowly build and scale through even today.

Which means goodbye Teamsters. Drivers like to complain about the younger ones--but they are at fault for why management can step all over the younger ones. I see it every day. They are the ones in at 4:30 while the last guy is pulling in 10 mins before the air car leaves to drop off and go back out. And they wonder why the new ones don't respect them or their way of doing things. [/QUOTE]
