[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 936926, member: 31608"] In my short stint at UPS thus far, I've learned some new things, and it has reinforced others that I already thought I knew. The single thing that has been heavily reinforced at UPS has happened since I was moved into "management": the quickest path to success is to let everyone else fail around you, while you go put in an average (or above average) effort. If you can put in a solid effort day after day, month after month, that is something most around you cannot do - thus, their failure is your shine. It's a little Machiavellian, but then again, I am not encouraging anyone to fail or be crappy at their job - they do that all by themselves. This is something that may not be applicable to union jobs because the amount of effort is not a requirement for pay; that is not a knock against the union, but merely a statement of how some people exploit the situation. I wanted to make the move into management from the day I started at UPS, so I was willing to eat mountains of crap until I got a small toe in the door. [/QUOTE]
