[QUOTE="Tucky, post: 90644"] Interesting site. I work TSG in CA., we had a few layoffs months ago and appear to be where we want to be at least until the end of the year. It's just a matter of time before TSG does not exist under the UPS package umbrella in my opinion. When a system goes down a supervisor will SOCS it out and when the replacement comes in they will plug it in the LAN and run OPIE to download the applications. They have always talked about TSG becoming a income producing entity, I can see that happening because I think, (my opinion), that TSG will become part of TSG-SCS logistics group. We are already starting to support SCS sites and the balance scorecard is enforcing A+ and soon to be network+ certifications. WHY? I am trying to think positive, lol. On the other end of the spectrum, we now have CTP which means we no longer need technicians to service external UPS hardware in the field.
