What you call the "old bogeyman" is alive and well, all you need to look at is the companies that are going down at this time. Please do not think that these are the "old days" of the company can never go out of business. There are plenty of companies that have been around a long time that can no longer make it. That, my friend is an undisputable fact. In the next 30 years I hope UPS continues to let everyone know that they to could be one of those companies unless they keep a close eye on the $$$$$$$.
By the way, I have been around UPS for almost the same 30 years that you have.
To address your statement.
You are not really looking for credibility if you think anyone here truly believes UPS is in danger of going out of business.
See the above.
Then you say.
The point on limits was mainly to point out there were limits. But if you think UPS was pushed to the edge you are dreaming. I am more than willing to pour over the stats if you can give me deciding control of what to do with them. Didnt think so.
Well my friend, the numbers are a matter of public record, I need not pour over anything with you. You seem like an intelligent person, read them, and then tell me why you think there is so much room for more to be given. And if you think I have the power to give you control to decide what to do with what monies there are well, I can only tell you that I cannot. If I could I doubt that I would anyway. I stand on my statement of
Why do you think that? Have you seen, analyzed, or audited the companys balance sheet and books? Have you forecasted future expenses? Projected future earnings? I would be interested in what your idea is on what the limit is or would be.
I dont see ANYTHING in your response that DIRECTLY addresses that point, you are very good at making general responses but I see NOTHING factual that directly substantiates your position. I have looked at the numbers I know that the company is profitable;(I will not burden others with the blow by blow description of the balance sheet) I believe that the company is being fiscally responsible by offering a fair wage increase and all other things that were included in the contract proposal. I also believe that they will continue to be fiscally responsible by accounting for the future expenses that will be incurred. Based on their projected future earnings and expenses I can see nothing that would make me think I was (in your words) dreaming If you see that my interpretation is flawed, I would be interested to hear your facts as to why.
