[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 350617, member: 927"] Trpl: First, an answer to your question.... I spent 3 years as an hourly employee. Mostly hub. Then, 11 years in operations (Hub, Feeder, Package). I was in multiple districts and regions. The last 18 years have been in different assignments (mostly through IE). (Deployments, Corporate, Region, etc.) You're right that I see a lot less of the day to day interactions than I saw 20 years ago. However, I've found people and problems to be the same. You're also right that we all see things from our own perspective. However, I don't feel "shielded" or in a proteced environment. I also do not think there is a "criminal" conspiracy going on that I'm not privy to. I believe that if you and I worked together, we'd do great. I'd lay out expectations and ask for your input. If I didn't know an answer, I'd say so, and try and find it. I'd do what I say I would do, and expect the same from you. I'd ask that we improve UPS service and reduce cost as our goal. As I said previously, I'm sure that there are underhanded management people out there. I believe them to be in the minority, and do not belong at UPS. I will never condone their actions, but I won't assume that they spoiled the management barrel. Just like I don't assume the few hourly bad apples spoil the Teamster barrel. I do believe that the bad management apple is tremendously worse than the bad Teamster apple. Just as you will say that my posts are only a portion of the picture, so are the posts you mention with the allegation of dishonestly. If you were treated poorly from management, I apologize for that. P-Man [/QUOTE]
