[QUOTE="LPGuy, post: 232744, member: 11213"] Folks, This is my first posting on this website. I am an LP person who has been in management at UPS since many of you were in grade school. Security gets a bad rap because, unfortunately, we are often in the position of dealing with problems that center management teams do not have the tools to address. I, too, have had a manager, similar to this one. He was fired several years ago. UPS seems to be good about weeding out potential management candidates during the process when the candidate is trying to obtain a supervisory position. Unfortunately, politics plays a big role when promoting supervisors to manager. It is very important to UPS to have bragging rights to "the best company for advancing _______ minorities. If you look at the data, you will see that UPS likes to promote minority supervisors to the position of manager. If you look more closely, you will see that UPS does not tend to like too many minorities achieving staff, or division level managment positions, or higher. The exception to this rule, is the occasional person who is sent to the district from corporate headquarters to "get her ticket punched." These individuals are typically only assigned to a business manager position for six months, or less. They are then returned to corporate to reside among the ranks of those whom UPS cam claim bragging rights for their "accomplishments."
