[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 587846, member: 484"] Any way you want to paint that picture, its gambling. Something that UPS can fire you over if they desire if done on company property. Sober I liken going into management to going into politics. They go with the best of intentions, to change the world, to better what they see is wrong with things. They have stars in their eyes. Then reality sinks in. You are told if you want to get to this level, this is what you have to do. And while they are not really up front with the explanation, you have to leave other things behind. In some cases its your family commitments, personal integrity, money acquisition, prestige, dominion over others......the list is endless. They find what areas you are vulnerable with, and exploit them, or you let them exploit you. There are a lot of management that still have some integrity, but for the most part, they have advanced about as far as they can go. I have seen several that have made it to center and division level, only to quit as they didn't want to play the game further up the ladder. Notice I did not say they did not want to get promoted and do the work needed for that promotion. I said they didn't want to play that game any longer. There are several management posters here that I respect, some even have serious titles. Some are as honest as the workday is long. But I would venture to say that even they have done things they shouldn't have. I can see where maybe the sup that got canned for helping the driver might have done things differently, but to fire him for it, that really is a low thing to do. It used to be that at UPS, any other UPSer had your back. Not anymore. It began before we went public, but it sure has gotten worse since then. Instead of having your back, they bury something in it. Its not the UPS of times past, thats for sure. d [/QUOTE]
