Inept management, starting in germany and trickling down.

Advice to Senior Management

When you buy a company dont lie to your employess that you want to keep the US domestic product
going when in fact you did not. A 4 TO 5 YEAR LIE . Then send out a memo A WEEK before xmas (CLASIC) stating it will be over SOON " A realignment " At least your giveing these people a 2 month notice. Gentleman you could have done well if you let the Baxglobal people run the domestic instead of allowing foreign 20somethings who are completly clueless, but have a degree to run a division they are completely inept at ??.Yes it needed a few changes, this was not the way to go guys . To all dbschenker emplyees who are affected goodluck.

A steady paycheck, and apparently a good company to work for if you live in Europe or Canada.

Continued Layoffs and job insecurity. Complete shutdown of the BAX Global facility in Irvine 2010-1012, at least 600 jobs lost. Also additional 700 employees layoff at Toledo in 2011 due to shutdown of Air Freight division. Switch to Asset Less shipping company in USA.

Advice to Senior Management

Management skills are outdated. Little if no IT processes in place.

Raises are few and far between. People can glide thru without working while others pick up the slack
