Ever since the new contract I’ve heard my manager talking about how UPS isn’t too big to fail and how no one who is expecting to collect a pension from the company for the rest of their life is out of luck. I don’t know how the money is being managed but I hope the company doesn’t go out of business. How much longer do you think UPS will be around?
Is UPS going to go out of business?

We're shutting down July 31st. All buildings will be taken over by Amazon and all RPCDs with over 15 years will be given a $250k severance payout. For everyone else, Arby's is hiring.

250k is peanuts!! I’m going on strike.
@Jkloc420 has been personally appointed by Carol Tome to liquidate the company assets.

I give it 5 more years. Only because you all have given them everything they want is why it hasn't gone down before.

It sounds crazy but it's very possible that UPS will either end up being a small fraction of its current size or sold off. Not anytime soon. Realistically anyway. As recently as five years or so ago people were saying Amazon wouldn't be able to deliver their own stuff. Now look at them. Now they are the kings of retail (and grocery in some areas) and shipping. And other retailers are struggling to compete and the result is FedEx and the USPS becoming their lower cost solution to help keep them going. We are more expensive and the service has declined (and still is) so the incentive to keep using is slipping away.
And our CEO bleeds accounts off at a record pace. And don't think its always because we let them go because they aren't profitable enough. That is BS. Many have (are) leaving us. At this rate we'll start seeing drastic changes in the very near future. Changes need to be made either way. What those changes are will determine how bad things get later. I hope I'm wrong about this. But the writing is on the wall.

Just because something works now doesn't mean it will in the future.

Amazon doesn’t want UPS - why would they? A payout that is wishful thinking - pray for a good post Carol CEO - otherwise it’s a slow decade plus decline - think Yellow.
No no no no no
They just want to do everything I can to trim the expensive last Mile and do things like transport packages for the Post office
Plus not have to spend money to expand facilities or buy new package cars.
