Nine Lives
The word is from my upper management that there are younger, brighter persons capable of doing more for less.
I see it as: There are unemployed and exploitable recent grads looking for a chance at making $$$ and gaining experience.
Then they move on to bigger and better things. Therefore loyalty and long term employees do not exist and retirement pensions are a thing of the past.
All employees will be used and abused until there is nothing left and the new UPS is hoping they loose all interest in continuing a long term relationship.
The new and improved: Partnership?
This is the way of modern corporations and the workforce as well.
The expectation on each side is that a person is hired to work a couple of years and move on to another corporation.
I remember overhearing a "partner in a consulting firm" criticizing UPS for having long-term management supervisors and managers ... circa 1997.
Little did I know at that time that he was prescient of the UPS of today.
