Better Not Bigger

[Pullman Brown]

Money is money. UPS could not turn down the money from Amazon 10 years ago.

Agree but more money is better than less! And Amazon was in a pickle so a shrewd CEO would have sliced the steak just perfect instead of giving it to the homeless shelter.

I get one a month

Good for you! I don’t! Mostly residential route and older people.

It’s going to be a bloodbath after peak: Management will feel the swing of the axe and hourlies will face much increased harassment and terminations over the smallest of infractions.
Good time to be retired!!

This thing is as old as the Industrial Revolution. You weren't around in 1860 to remember all that layoffs from the Railroad companies.

Was going to post this last week... Usually don't see listings under a thousand until mid-January.

They may set a new low for job openings around February. Might want to plan, prepare, and cover your *ss.

They need to cut Amazon off and concentrate on some other shippers

They are about to cut management in half. One thing at a time.

Tel them to bring it. Time to separate the chaff. Let me move up in seniority and start my new life as an RPCD.

FedEx says volume diverted from UPS retained

FedEx says it is confident that it has maintained the parcel volumes that moved from UPS. The post FedEx says volume diverted from UPS retained appeared first on FreightWaves.

If only we were better.

The company seriously took a sharp nosedive when Dave retired…we all made fun of him but now it’s looking like he was a one man show and keeping the company ultra profitable.

UPS helped Amazon become the success it has become. If UPS would have done what Fed-X did and told Amazon to go pound sand as soon as they found out Amazon was becoming a competitor it would have set Amazon back years. Amazon would not of been able to keep up with shipping causing long wait times for customers packages to arrive. One of the main reason Amazon became the success it has is because of their fast shipping.
Seems to me UPS didn’t “get the big picture” but instead jumped on a quick profit.

On top of many of our people going over to Amazon to work and make their system better.

That will cause a riot

Settle down skinny

We better ask @rod about it. Wasn’t he a young man when the great revolt of 1860 happen???
