    With all due respect to the President, the private sector is doing very poorly. I think that is very evident.

    I wonder why politicians just can't be honest when they talk.

    This isn't surprising. The private sector has always been doing fine as far as Obams is concerned. He wants, and has always wanted, more growth in the government sector. Bigger government and more deficit spending is the key to long-term market efficiency and stability!!

    You mean the only reason that UPS can actually exist and make a profit?

    Well, at least the doofball's advisers had the good sense to have him 'clarify' his ridiculously out of touch comment.

    Oh, and corporations are people. Only economic idiots who have worked for a corporation don't know this. :MARIS61:

    The cutbacks will begin in mid-March and be completed in April, she said.

    Yes, one to two months ago is such old news. I'm sure those UPS employees already have new jobs, making even more money than they did before the heartless UPS let them go.

    Yer so smart.

    Haha, the blue collar workers are the reason UPS exists. The nerdy asians are basically engineering a way for dumbass managers to micro-manage the job even more. They implement DIAD programs to get delivering the package down to a 'T'. The company thrived and was prosperous decades before this technology. In essence, the nerdy asian is hired by UPS to find a way to eliminate more driving jobs by cutting corners.

    As soon as UPS became public in the mid-90's is when Teamsters and management started hating each other. Hence the shitloads of stupid advertising.

    Nerdy Asians with mathematics degree get an hourly wage from UPS, and they work in the warehouse?

    Amazing that UPS would pay someone like you $100k.

    Anyhow, what does it matter who lost their job at UPS? Laughing about it seems douchey, but then again, look at the two who are laughing about it.

    They work in the warehouse. They aren't Teamsters though. Otherwise they wouldn't just fire 400 workers. Management probably implemented the technology they needed and said, seyonara suckers.

    You understand the main point of a Union is job security, right?

    I'm not laughing about them getting fired. I'm laughing at the poster who thinks he has a point, but doesn't.

    He says the same thing over and over. It's tiresome and circlejerk-ish and hateful at times.

    He should really just cast his vote and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
