[QUOTE="jetcat, post: 1409180, member: 54951"] I am out on the west coast and when I went from package to feeder I had 22 years seniority, but when I got into feeder I was back to the bottom for vacations, route assignments, etc. etc. ...... Back to the original topic posted by [U]Jim1966[/U] .... if it was me and I was you, I would just keep the job you have now, cuz I do not think you are going to be happy being in the Feeder Dept and starting at ground zero .... meaning that you will have the most weird hours and schedule you could imagine ( worse than you can imagine and for a very long time ) Also, UPS is a certain mentality ... this is not evident to those who are looking in from the outside. Dealing with Management at UPS would probably not be anything like what you may have known up to this point in your working life .... but all of us UPS people who started out at entry-level positions and worked our way up know exactly what I am talking about ...... management people have been given tools that allow them to micro-manage every aspect of your life while you are on the clock. It is insane. One of their most common Psy-Ops ( as I call it ) is to make you feel as if you might be a person who is stealing time from the company ... regardless of the fact you may look, sound, act, live like a salt-of-the-earth type of person. This is why one of the guys above said something to the effect of [I]" ... they treat you like you are a thief ..."[/I] Having said all of this, it is not like every single management person is evil .... but having those people in your life creates a certain mentality we all have to deal with in the company every single day ... like I said ... if you are looking in from the outside, it would not be obvious. I could go on and on .... the point is .... seriously ... the feeder guys at the top of the pile do have some really good lifestyle going on, but they earned it and it took years .... and years ... and years ...... you are asking if we think it would be worth it to jump ship from where you are now ( sounds like you have an above average driving job) ... me personally .... ummmmm .....
