[QUOTE="constructively dissatisfi, post: 690581, member: 6988"] If you don't know any of the people involved, the facts would seem to raise a question mark. The top operations job in the US has been held by a string of people from the same ethic group for a very long time. This ethnic group represents a relatively small percentage of UPS management in total, and a relatively small percentage of the overall population. About 12% if I'm not mistaken. At the same time, this same ethnic group is WAY over-represented in senior management positions in operations. This doesn't necessarily mean any or all of them aren't qualified. But it would seem to raise a big question mark in the mind of a logical person looking at the facts as to whether their ethnicity was a factor in selecting them. Do you believe that people from this ethnic group posess some genetic traits that make them good managers and leaders? Do you believe it's just a coincidence? Bitterness has nothing to do with it. I believe people should be allowed to succeed or fail based on their own actions and abilities, not their ethnicity, gender or anything else. A capable person from this same ethnic group shouldn't be too happy about it either. How would you like to always wonder in the back of your mind if you were put in a job because you were the best person, or because of the color of your skin? It seems to me the only people who would like this sort of thing are unqualified people who are able to move up without earning it. [/QUOTE]
