[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 318907, member: 12163"] Managers and supervisors pretty much do the same thing, just that one gets paid more and has a tiny bit more authority than the other. They both work ridiculous hours, they both are at the bottom of the management food chain. Even division managers are getting the shaft these days. With management downsizing, division managers are getting added responsibilities such as running their department in 2 districts or running multiple departments in 1 district. MIP isn't as attractive as it used to be and the UPS stock price has been stale for how many years now? I thought I even heard some people mention on here that management pension and benefits have taken a hit as well. Let's face it, UPS has its share of "lifers" who will not quit no matter how bad things get. The only people making money at UPS are district managers and up. And you are right, there are lots of managers who kinda "grandfathered" in back in the day when experience counted and education didn't. That's why you see lots of these older managers going to the "online" universities to get degrees to compete with the incoming college grads for promotions. But they do have something that college grads don't - lots of experience. It's really a catch 22. Do you take the young unexperienced yet educated college grad or the under-educated but well experienced old-timer? [/QUOTE]
