So that total of 14,800 is just since 2009 and only at UPS. We still haven't figured out the rest of his body count.

You can't name 1 thing on a positive note that this guy has done for the employee since he stepped in the ceo office. NOT 1 THING. Everyone thought that an outsider will be a good change for ups since they have always promoted from within and we all thought an outsider will think outside the box and be more agrressive. Well he was and he did. Thinking outside the box and how to look inside of his pocket, Unfortunate for this company and rest of the working bees. We're no better then united or delta and we could have been so much more successful if we had someone like richard branson or swa ceo. They are not perfect but defenetly better than what we got to gamble with. Can we please get Mike Eskew back

Perhaps therein lies the problem. He's not an outsider. He's been with UPS since 1986 with the exception of the two years he spent at Overseas Partners Ltd.
