@oldngray said ↗more the Peter Principle at UPS. They get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence and don't get demoted when they fail.We had a division manager that didn't plan for peak at all one year. No peak hires, no truck rentals, nothing. Hub goes under. Corporate sends emergency team in to help Preload,P{reload, too late. Then they flew operation management in from all over the country. Rental trucks, rental cars, meals, hotel rooms, the works. UPS spent $7M extra in my building that year. Division Manager gets fired? Hell no. "Lateral move", he gets transferred somewhere else to screw up another operation.
