1 million packages less

Automation is coming . They know the numbers and if it’s saving money it’s saving money . We need our union to fight this issue just like the port did . But my guess is Carol is gonna do as much as she can before the next contract . If you’re a low senior employee , just leave now , this place sucks . I have over 20 years so I’ll be finishing out my ride with whatever bull comes our way

If you don't like automation or new technology turn in your vehicle for a horse.

So close 200 buildings to save money,yet have to spend more money on fuel due to driving farther from buildings to deliver?

Fuel is cheap, feeder staffing isn't

I was thinking more in the lines of package drivers traveling farther.

Just move closer to the hub. It’s definitely a challenge

No
He meant drivers going further from the building to their routes.

That is easy paid drive time money. Not the same as doing it on your own time.

I really don't know what the hell this company is thinking

Exactly, Is it really that hard to understand?

@Future is still confused

Yes I understood that

Only one difference bud....at least Dave knew when to retire. Our green bastard friend here doesn't have retirement plans anywhere in his future....LIFER

Dave thought he knew when to retire. Until his pension plan changed and he ended up needing to work a little longer. He later denied it of course but he had previously posted when his last day would be.

As someone who drives less than 10 minutes to route on a typical day. I would not mind the extra windshield time. Albeit having a return to building you can set a stopwatch on, certainly has it's upsides.

It’s really not that bad. I drive about 60 miles to get to my route. Weather definitely plays into my plans.

Curious on this as well. My store did tell me that Headquarters were shutting down and they were going to work Virtual and supposedly CEO of the stores is buddy buddy to Carol

They have a checklist now from corporate. If the store isn't meeting their bullet points, ups is taking ownership of the store. They are also getting rid of alot of the ups store corporate side. A owner I spoke with has an idea that they are slowing going to take all the stores from the franchising. Corporate has also slashed the profit %s the stores would get.
