Thousands “offboarded” from UPS today

[Thebrownblob]

of the 12k, 7.5k of them were separated that day

we will miss them in another year or two when we are trying to expand and all our sales talent was hoovered up by the competition

Sales talent? Honestly, I haven’t seen anyone talented in the sales department in quite a long time. Actually actually, I haven’t seen a sales person at all in quite a long time.

the best sales people are coalesced at the corp/region level working in sorta-focused teams; the people you see at the local/district level are not of the best quality, but you need some kind of a buffer to keep things from getting out of control

Your ilk stole the leads from drivers.

I do miss the days when our Sales reps/management would come around demanding we submit x number of leads per week..... fun games

IE has nothing to do with sales leads

 

[728ups]

tell me what you think IE does

IE was the boogeyman in our building
Supe: I know its heavy today, IE raised stops per car

Supe: I know we don’t have enough routes in, IE cut them

Supe: I know your dispatch is not what it should be, IE reconfigured ORION over the weekend

If Salespeople work harder and also handing few thousand-dollar check to any driver that provides good lead, the result would be fantastic. However, sales are greedy lazy bastards!

I used to submit Wendy’s, Hardee’s, and my favorite was a Chinese restaurant where they barely spoke English. I told the sales reps they sent a lot of packages back home to china and would be a great account to land

This may be so. I've talked to a couple of UPS salespeople and like us drivers not knowing what the metrics are for our planned day, they don't know what the metrics are for their pay either. They salespeople are not doing anything more than what they need to to keep their current salaries.

Where did you come up with this ridiculousness?

Nobody, including including sales, received greater than a 50% MIP factor this year.

100% is a wet dream.
The concept of partnership is fully dead, cold, and buried.

Your wrong on the MIP

 

[BSWALKS]

At least we was able to teach @KOG72 how to get the scan button off the middle of his screen. LoL

And at the same time, we taught him how he could change the language from English to hillbilly.

Do your homework- sales was guaranteed 100% SIP for effort. It’s amazing how many Folks don’t check the effort. SIP was guaranteed despite trade rumors.

Here is were you need to know your sphere of influence - mine exceeds my worth but includes those more important.

Still…rock on.

What’s SIP?
