[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 292702, member: 12163"] Haven't you guys figured it out yet? UPS will pinch pennies and cut corners any way they can. I have never understood why they don't improve the facilities either. Most are running beyond their designed capacity and the fixes are cheap building modifications: old rusty cut-out trailers and wooden "fruit stands". Not only are they cheap but they are unsafe. The buildings are eyesores to the public and apparently that doesn't concern UPS. Most buildings still have the old UPS logo that was changed what, 3 or 4 years ago? I know of a building that was destroyed by a hurricane and UPS built a replacement: buy vacant lot, cover it with gravel, bring in cheap MDC units and use 2 mobile homes as the center offices. That was 3 years ago, the setup remains the same today. I know of another building that has been in bad shape for a long time and UPS constantly bandaid-ed it. The city had to come in and declare the building condemned for UPS to decide to rebuild it. Finally, take a look at PAS. They are cramming PAS into facilities that are well beyond their designed capacity. They are spending millions on building modifications and putting the computer equipment in areas exposed to rain, heat, humidity, snow, etc. I've seen some PAS equipment up as high as 40-50 feet where it is extremely hot and dangerous for the employees to work.
