[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 577216, member: 484"] NH guy For one, I know that you do a lot more as a manager than many people think. There is a large difference as far as the physical aspect of your job compared to that of an hourly, but your day is also full. But a lot of your day is also of a man made nature. One of meetings where you get reamed out for even the most trivial aspects of your job, dragged over the coals for the lackluster performance of some of your drivers, taken to the foot of the gallows for other labor issues, and the list goes on and on. While some of this serves a purpose, the majority of the point is to allow those above you to do the same to them, and the scene repeats itself for several other layers of management. That aspect is the micro management that is throughout UPS's culture. From the little you can actually "run" at your center to the micromanagement of the delivery route. They are no longer training leaders, but instead lemmings at UPS. You and some of the other posters are an exception to that comment. But you are getting fewer and fewer. You have my respect for standing on your principles. d [/QUOTE]
