Is UPS “failcascading”?

[moldsporh]

Purely speculation....but wouldn't we (hourlies)look bad in the eyes of the shareholders if UPS (deliberately) over-inflated the projections?

By contract the number of FT porters and FT car washers cannot be reduced.

When up to 30% of Full Time Union Employees get laid off I guarantee inside employees aren't immune.
You don't understand how bad UPS is going to slash costs after peak.
There is a nationwide Do not order copy paper policy right now.
When your Center Manager can't spend money on copy paper you know things are bad.

I hope you're joking somehow. The "human race" isn't a bottle-necked population. There is massive genetic variability among humans. To be frank you don't even understand the terms you are repeating. Also outbreeding depression is mainstream genetics, to say there's zero evidence for it makes no sense in the context of the entire established field. You're like on expert-level Dunning-Kruger right now. If you're being serious you really ought to do some more reading.
I only originally commented on this to clear up a common misconception that I see often repeated.

Who's dunning-kruger? Is she a hot native hawaiian?

Also, understand most shipping companies will have to readjust to the tariffs on Chinese goods. Will not be a good 4th quarter for everyone and the 1st quarter will show major adjustments as well as the company likely working deals elsewhere.

UPS has been around a long, long time, have faith in the ones that keep it going.

On the other hand, I don't care for the fact we are still in the spotlight when it comes to production...as they are easily getting 30% more production out of most people and that's beyond what they should be doing.

I wonder if they will start putting a cross-piece of tape on their boxes of dog food once they are the ones cleaning up the mess when they break open?

CONFIRMED: Amazon is dropping us. Heard it from a guy who heard from a guy who is an amazon seasonal.

Seriously though, I’m getting my finances in order to jump off of this sinking ship next year. Looking into the trades. Rather start over sooner than later.

 

[Brownslave688]

Is the jump seat bent?

They have to be able to handle sups

This is theory I’ve heard. Cut all of the costs you can except labor.

Then when numbers come in over projections cry to the union that you can’t make money without working guys over 9.5.

If what you say is true (it isn’t) then it looks like we wont have to worry about those 22.4’s taking our work away...

I would love amazon to take over all of their deliveries. Then they’d have no one to blame. Would quickly be a PR nightmare.

Would have liked that 2 mil they dropped for a new belt at my center to prove a point with Amazon. We will be abandoning it along with the building after 3 seasons of using it.

The inside people would be the first to go.


30% of full-time drivers being laid off ?

Maybe in some little podunk center in Minnesota.... not the real world.

I don't know where you're getting this stuff.

It's certainly not "nationwide".


One of the 23 major Hubs (an actual Hub in my Local) is undergoing a

multi-million dollar renovation, being converted to automation.

Not here.


We have a huge automotive Department, in combination with trailer repair.

They actually work on all the rentals also.

 

[Overpaid Union Thug]

This cost cutting panic is nothing more than corporate attempting to make up for missing their peak projections. Gotta please those stockholders before the post peak news cycle starts.

Porters and car washers are immune to lay offs. Plus they have the highest seniority in the building.

What’s next, no more buying fuel for the planes?

This proves you don't know what your talking about.
If UPS went out of business you would be laid off.
So saying they are immune isn't entirely correct.
