[QUOTE="ol'browneye, post: 331942, member: 14003"] I am a driver but let me tell you what happened to a good friend of mine. He was a pt sup for years. After being passed over many times he finally went to a ft supe position. He lived in a rural area about 30-35 minutes from the hub and he and his wife and 2 kids had just built a house. He worked ft in the hub (I forget at what position) for about 6 months when they made him an on-car sup and transferred him to a center 100 miles from home. UPS insisted he move but he refused and just commuted everyday since he had just built his house. After about 6 months he got fed up with the commute, the atmosphere, the mentality of mngmt, and all the bs that went with the job and found another job in the transportation industry with an ltl trucking company. He said the difference was night and day. Hardly any stress compared to UPS, not quite the same pay but he said it was worth it to not have to put up with UPS. He has since changed companies again and is now an account rep with a large trucking company and makes more than he did at UPS and is as happy as can be. He says getting out of UPS mngmnt was the best decision he ever made. Your husband may believe in UPS but just like the drivers, he will be just another cog in the wheel and can be replaced when he has served his purpose and is used up. I know it is that way in any industry with any company, but why not be a little happier? UPS is not neccessarily the job to beat all jobs. Maybe your husband should use his experience and education to work somewhere else. Like others have mentioned, many companies love to get UPS employees because they know how to work and aren't afraid of work. You BOTH might end up happier and have a less stressful life and marriage. I know my friend is happier now!! [/QUOTE]
