[QUOTE="LPGuy, post: 232798, member: 11213"] I believe that I can speak to this post. Unfortunately, it would seem that we have all been reduced, regardless of the position that we hold, to achieving a "number" for some intermediate bureaucat to report on his/her spreadsheet to corporate. I, like so many of you, grew up in an organization that truly held the values that were implemented by our founders. We have become an organization that has been taken over by "lets milk it for five or six years and then move on" type individuals. These people hold positions in management and bring their "I want it now" work ethic to the table. The problem is that I see an effort on the part of the organization to cater to this type of individual. Where does that leave us people who were raised to be loyal to the organization and to sacrifice now for future rewards. At times, it would seem that UPS has forgotten about the virtues that originally made this company great. One of those was hard work. Another was understanding and appreciating those who are in the employ of the company, "people". As I approach retirement, I fear for the future of UPS. We have some very flashy advertisements on TV. Our leader brags about how we are everything to everyone. The reality, however, is that our infrastructure has been compromised and watered down by political correctness and self proclaimed greatness: often times by those who have no right to claim that greatness.
