Pees in the brown Koolaid
Another thing that helps me stay sane is to remember that my immediate management are temporary, transitory figures.
I've worked for 9 different center managers and dozens of on car sups in my time with UPS.
I was already here when they arrived and I will still be here long after they have been promoted, demoted, transferred or fired.
I have job security. They dont.
I have rights. They dont.
I can think for myself. They cant.
I am paid for every minute of my time. They aren't.
If I dont show up in the morning to do my job, over 100 paying customers dont get service.
If they dont show up in the morning to do their job....over 100 paying customers wont even know.
I process and manipulate packages. They process and manipulate statistics.
The bottom line is that, if I am having problems with my management team all I have to do is wait and a different one will come long sooner or later. In the meantime, I can simply choose to feel sorry for them and cut them some slack. They need it worse than I do.
