[QUOTE="GuyinBrown, post: 250000, member: 9444"] In response to your earlier post, I agree that the whole starting wage / benefit thing is a problem. When you're only willing to pay people just above minimum wage, the effort they give is also more than likely going to be just above the minimum. When I started 20 years ago, I started at $8 an hour. UPS probably turned away 2/3 of the people that applied just because they were able to pick and choose the ones they thought would work out best. Now they're pretty much just looking for a heartbeat and are lucky enough to land the occasional "keeper". If they want quality workers, they're going to have to come up with a new way to attract them. [/QUOTE]
