[QUOTE="Dis-organized Labor, post: 619244"] Don't want to reveal who I am, but I am in mgmt. In the airline, we answer calls and respond to any issue regardless of the time or if on vacation, weekend, etc. 24/7 at all times if our expertise is needed. It may not seem like it sometimes, but we strive to make service whenever it can be safely, legally and otherwise done. I realize that it seems like mgmt. wants to move volume, regardless of regs. and other type issues, but we also have a responsibility to protect our operating certificate. Most of us are technoids; and our people skills are "least-best" as our strengths are innovation, multi-tasking (not by choice either!!), and creativity. On a personal and professional level, I want to be the guy that fixes problems, makes things happen, and avoids delays and Out Of Service Events. (OOS). At the end of each day, I go home, ready to be called to assist as much as I can and then do it all over again the following morning. I like to think I'm old school UPS; and I am very proud of that distinction. I started when the airline started in 1988. Still a newbie, but committed to service excellence; whether at UPS or the several other airlines I passed through untiul I found a "home". Believe me, I'm not patting myself on my own back, but I just want to explain what a mgmt. person (sep sup / sup/ center manager / DM / above is beyond my comprehension) does on a minute-by-minute basis. Now, are some driven by fear of the Boss? Are some driven by the strong work ethic of a UPSer? Are some driven by greed? I want to make a lot more $$$ than I do and it simply cannot be done in a Corporate structure. I'm rambling..... Thanks for BC.. Best Regards, DOL [/QUOTE]
