[QUOTE="HallMonitor, post: 338675"] I'd outsource you in a second. You guys way over-credit yourself. Your skills are minimal at best. For instance, what company asks its IT workforce to become A+ certified 15 years after developing the position. An A+ certification is a requirement for most IT shops. Count how many of your TSG came from the hub, center, preload, PT sup, etc. Count how many were hired off the street. UPS find reasonably bright people and make them IT. Once you are TSG, you start thinking you are expert IT. Most local IT outsource/temp agencies have IT guys who blow away the best TSG techs. Sure, they wouldn't know the company or the technology, but it wouldn't take them very long to master it. In the world of IT, TSG techs are just elementary or middle school students arguing they are graduate students working on their PHD. You will get mad at the statement above, but it doesn't mean it isn't true. I did IT before I worked at UPS, I did IT at UPS, and I have done IT since leaving. The fact is, God is my witness, that TSG is about the easiest IT I have ever seen. The hard part is putting up with being a second-class UPS citizen. Sorry, the truth is the truth. [/QUOTE]
