UPS would run just fine with a corporate skeleton crew.

 

[UPSER1987]

you could get rid of 90% of OPS management and yeah it would basically run the same, though you'd have to hire more hourlies and hourlies would be making a lot of daily decisions themselves; i'm okay with this and i'm sure most of you are too

getting rid of 90% of non-ops management and the company would melt down after 2-3 weeks, certainly after a month rolled by

That statement also me verifies you are clueless.

UPS over hired IE by the bucket loads. How many IE do we need to move the belts?

Operations is UPS. UPS is about Operations until it becomes a fast-food restaurant business. But then it is still about Operations; Fast-food Operations!

 

[anonymous23456]

Please don't tell us about how IE figures out how to move packages. We are not making canned tuna at UPS! That job can be done by Operation Research and computers.

most operators have no idea how our packages even move across the network much less within our building

since the introduction of PAS and GSS it's not a dummy-safe occupation

seethe about it, you know it's true and so does everyone else here

yes perhaps the dept that does that research and uses the computers could have a name, maybe something about Engineering Industrial processes, I dunno lol

it could run with a tiny crew of IE yeah, if we didn't have service commitments, relied on hourlies to sort anything, or had a union contract to uphold

 

[catstalking]

getting rid of 90% ops management and UPS will shut down immediately losing millions of dollars per day!

I triple dare Tome to try that and find out as in "Ffffff-around and find out".

your serious? you really think on car rides and misload wanding are that essential?

no one gives a about that stuff above the DM level

 

[burrheadd]

by the way, if you want to talk about high-autonomy talent, there is basically ZERO of that in the ops

Did you figure that out all by yourself
Just a buncha folks that couldn’t cut it as drivers is all that’s left

Its funny that in our district, IE got axed along with other non essential departments such as bd, hr and PE. Good riddance to those do nothing “partners”

We only need one PhD in math/statistics and 3 interns.

Who created the misload wanding?? Complete waste of time and money.

I had heard UPS cancelled the RFID PAL labels. Cost cutting.

we have more than that and it's not enough

no they didn't, no district IE got axed

they let attrition reduce dept numbers so an IE covers 2 divisions instead of 1 so now you rarely see them and the rest of IE was moved up to Region/Zone level

see this is what i'm talking about, you have NO IDEA what's going on, you're listening to rumors from managers or other people who are literal nobodies

tell that to the angry on cars on this forum who think they know literally anything about the company beyond the property line of their backwater 30 car center

Another million dollars wasted

Boy you are lame and have no reading comprehension. Stick to your wrong numbers I guess.

Are you that literal? Of course they didn’t completely ax IE. The head count is a shell of itself. No more 4 IE partners with clipboards in the managers office because they are too scared to articulate an inaccurate process alone. I know this as a manager and have had to live with someone’s else’s plans and numbers for years.

Go to lunch. That’s what those folks are good for.

I guess it is cheaper then paying a competitive PT wage.
