[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 309964, member: 484"] Dude This job will be anything you make of it. It can be one of the greatest adventures, with security for both you and your family, or it can be a prison which you hate to return to each and every day. I find your mindset has a lot to do with it. As to the jerks in management, I have also run into a large number of jerks in the hourly ranks. Had to represent many of them as well. You will find the differing personalities any where you go. Its how you deal with the situation and them that will determine the outcome. One of the things I always told myself when things got really bad at times was that I work for UPS, not the local management team. I will be here long after they are gone. And you know what, that is exactly what has happened. I always loved my sups. I loved to see some come, and some go. One word of caution, you do not have to respect the person, but you need to respect the position. Does that make sense? As far as working for others, have done that as well. Guess what, there are real jerks and SOB's everywhere, not just at UPS. So develop the skills needed to deal with them, and you will do fine. Its not easy, and sometimes you have to litterally bite your tounge (That could be a problem in your case:wink2:) but I think you are capable. So go out there and make your job what you want it to be. Dont let anyone rain on your life, ever! It worked for me, and it can work for you as well. Best of luck! d [/QUOTE]
