[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5120841, member: 76643"] Falling like a ton of bricks?! The past two years at my building we've had heavy resi volume from March to July and then of course again throughout peak. What, are you pushing brooms year round to get your 8 at your building? If you think Amazon and FedEx have "won" and UPS is on the way out, then -- with all due respect -- you're a fool to urge caution. In that case we should try to take this company for all its got before the deed is done. That would be a much better rainy day plan than asking us to be "reasonable," e.g., this is the same type of rationale that allowed UPS to convert most of its employment into poorly-paid part-time jobs and got us the 22.4 position. And it [I]certainly[/I] will not save our pensions. Besides: unless us lowly hourlies take over the company (I'm not holding my breath :wink2:), corporate brass is going to keep on chasing whatever business stratagems they fancy. Their plans may well be short-sighted. If so, ours should be too. Why would you leave money on the table when you think the table is smoldering? "Us"? Who are you talking about? This isn't the partners forum, here we are just workers who happen to be employed by the company. [/QUOTE]
