[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 327565, member: 12163"] Way back when, TSG used to get people from technical temp agencies. It kinda went against the policy of promoting from within, but that's when they needed real technical people and there wasn't anybody to promote from within to fit the bill. Then things started changing (dumbing down TSG as its been referred to) and now they can pretty much promote anybody from operations into TSG. What gets me though is why TSG techs were forced to get the A+ and Net+ certifications if the technical requirements for a technician have continued to go down over the years. I have heard a couple different theories which make alot of sense: If the TSG workforce is A+ and Net+ certified then that gives UPS more bargaining power to prospective outsource companies. As TSG is downsized, displaced technicians will be more marketable with 2 certifications. I don't know why UPS would care about that though; the first theory makes much more sense. Anyone else have a theory? [/QUOTE]
