[QUOTE="FREE_2_SKI, post: 78332, member: 4822"] TSG_PAPA..amazing post. I had to get out here and let you know. I'm a soon to be ex tsg. If you had asked me 2 weeks ago, I would have told you I planned on retiring from UPS. When they called all the internal and external tsg together for our meeting, and when the announcement was made, I knew, in that moment, my life, our lives could and would change forever. I know business is what it is. I see it in the field. In many company's, TSG is their company's IT staff. I love my job. I love going into a customer site. It's so neat to see what products and/or services they provide. I love setting up a shipping system with best practices and getting that volume for UPS. It's a challenge, a puzzle that I love to put together. I can get those people to give up the volume with nary a finger touching a keyboard. I work with ceo's, co's, presidents, all the way down to the shipping clerk. I've enjoyed it all. Many of the services I was providing came from my heart and my head. I was always scanning the warehouses for pallets and packages from the competitor. Yes, I'm a tsg, but I still wanted every bit of competitor volume, and I would talk to the customer about it right there. So you can see that we do more than just fix a broken computer or printer. There's so much more that we do, and I never minded doing it. I chose to exit. I was told my job was safe, but I chose to take the severance. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to decide. Now I'm going to follow a dream. I am raising a slew of kids on my own, and sometimes, you just have to take a chance, and follow your dreams. Yes, I could have worked for UPS the rest of my life, and I would have too. I will always look back at my time at UPS with fondness and I will miss so many of you. My management isn't perfect, but I challenge you to find a company where it's any different. Those left behind are going to have a lot of work to do, but if you keep your heart into it, you'll do a kick-a job. Maybe while you're doing a kick-a job, showing them what you're made of, maybe you too will decide to follow your dreams. I wish the TSC'ers and TSG'ers everywhere the best of luck. I know I have gained some excellent skills at UPS, and I'll take 'em to another part of this beautiful country, and I'll do a great job, and I'll make my new employer proud and my old employer proud as well. Viva la IT !!! [/QUOTE]
