[QUOTE="air_upser, post: 57910"] Absolutely true Dannyboy. I just try to stick of up for those who really do try to make a difference and do the right thing. I've had a couple of bad managers in my short career as well...unfortunately UPS does not like to let people go...they just move them around. I have no ides why. Most of the time, they just lack common sense and an empathetic heart. Case in point- I was a supervisor in NJ during the big storm of 96. There was 24 inches of snow on the ground and a state of emergency was declared, meaning no one was supposed to be out on the roads. Sure enough, the boss called us in. It took me 3 hours to get there, stayed for 45 minutes, then they told us all to home. 3 hours later I was home again and really wanted to scream at someone. It was so stupid. The next thing that really really pissed me off was 9/11. Everyone was glued to the TVs trying to figure out what was going on. We were all just shocked, stunned, etc. You would think everyone would just go home and be with their families. Well, a manager decided not to cancel his meeting in the afternoon. Luckily, he wasn't my direct boss because I let him know in front of everyone what a stupid and insensitive thing he did on such a horrible day. The bottom line is any corporate has bad management. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. You will find bad managers in the most popular companies to work for. [/QUOTE]
