[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1056473, member: 4886"] It's sad that this could be the case. I know of many female mgmt people, mostly manager level, who do a great job and would be at the level they are regardless of being a woman or man, they earned their job. However, I also know of some female managers who are there due to filling a quota. I asked some of the better woman how they feel with UPS promoting certain females when they obviously haven't earned it. Most are as frustrated with it as are the men. When they see people promoted only because of gender then they feel they always have to prove they aren't part of the females who are promoted solely for being a woman. I think the HR department at UPS does a horrible job with regard to minorities and females. I have no doubt that on average a woman is just as good as a man, and a minority is just as good as a caucasion. UPS was built on promote from within. Hiring people first at a PT hourly position who then go into PT supv or FT driving, and those groups go eventually to FT management. We should endeavor to hire in direct proportion to the local population (ie if the local population is 10% African American, we should have 10% African American PT hourlies, which will eventually mean 10% African American drivers and 10% African American PT Supvs and eventually 10% African American FT supvs. Similarly for women there should be 50% women in PT hourly jobs. How can you expect to be "fair" if you only have 10% women in PT hourly ranks but still try to get to 50% women in FT management. [/QUOTE]
