It's funny, but to be honest, I did need to look up a couple of those words.![]()
Do you have any other info about cuts in your district?

Nice.
Everyone: Read it one more time.

Sorry to hear this is still going on three years after the big announcement when I got downsized. UPS is very similar to Liberalism. If you do something and it doesn't work, then you just haven't been able to do enough of it. Obviously the cut backs didn't help the last time so keep cutting and cutting. The writing has been on the wall for years. Anyone that stuck around should not be surprised that this is happening again.Yep. I guess that we will find out more tomorrow. I'll tell you one thing... if I ever see J Bevis walking down the street, I would kick him straight in the nuts. Come to think of it, he would just shield his nuts with the sack of nuts he holds from his management team. They do nothing to show corporate what fools they are for believing in J Bevis and his magical reports.

The problem with the "1 tech per 100 pcs" formula is that one size doesnt fit all. For instance two buildings each with 100 pcs but one has only a reload and the other runs 3 sorts. Using this formula each building only gets one tech. The one building would go with out a tech for almost two sorts.
This also doesnt take into consideration all the other equipment TSG supports and that each building is different. For instance some Air Hubs have hundreds of Tech10s, other buildings have TSG supported Dimensional Wieghing Units on all thier primary doors none of these are counted as equipment. The types of buildings that this formula might work would be in a General Office Site or Buildings with just one sort or reload.
It does not make any sense to make such large sweeping comparisions with no actual time studies performed nor considerations for the differences in supported equipment.
As a sales person I am pretty comfortable reviewing most technology needs a customer may have. I am able to solve many of their minor issues. The problem occurs when the more complicated solutions are needed. The last two years we feel like we are on an island with limited access to TSG or CSG (Customer Solutions Group). Customers are fine with calling the help desk but they are not satisfied with lack of in person help when a true problem happens. I believe this is truly affecting our business in a negative way. Customers often came to us knowing we would be able to solve the issue. Now they simply have a back up plan. (Competitor).
5 techs laid off in our district. We have seen massive cuts in TSG over the last few years. The only problem I have with it is that every year they want to cut more. We are down to about 1 tech per building, and what concerns me more is what is happening to our customer's tech needs.

You were probably all for the length of service thing three years ago when you were above the Impacted line right? Anyone that stayed after the first round of cuts and let their skills waste away should not be too surprised. This is the new UPS way. Repeat every January as needed.The cut is basically 25% of staff, based on Y.O.S, which is pretty funny since TSG requires some technical skill.…
Nope was impacted, returned and impacted again, some people just don't learn. I even went as far as to try improving my skills and service. But what do you need good skills for in TSG anyway? I mean, if the technician on duty never can fix your problem, you can always wait for the next one!You were probably all for the length of service thing three years ago when you were above the Impacted line right?

I hope your Sup at least checked on the reports a couple of time between jokes!Yesterday I spent the day with my supervisor who i rarely see in my facility. My tsg sup spent the day sitting next to and joking with the BD manager all day long.

I guess eventually the people without the proper skills will be cut...
