[QUOTE="bad company, post: 329556, member: 9308"] Hmm...sorry to hear of your troubles. The interesting thing is, I started out just like you did. Helper, to PT hourly, to PT Sup and then OMS. But now I'm driving Full-time. And it took me less than two years to do so. How is your relationship with your division manager? Is he/she aware of your goals and desire to move up to a full-time position? I had great relationships with all of my management, and my division manager was the one that made things happen for me. It also didn't hurt to know the HR rep pretty well too. While I understand your negativity, your attitude towards your fellow management staff isn't going to help your cause, so you might as well bite the bullet for now to try and help yourself out. I'm not saying you have to brown nose, but try not to "stick out like a sore thumb" as you so put it. If your full intention is to go driving and stay driving you may have harder time convincing management to let you be the outside hire for a full-time driver position. It may be in your best interest to seriously consider ( or pretend that you are seriously considering) telling them that you are interested in going into full-time management, and would like to get a year or two of driving experience before you do so. You may also want to discuss moving to another center within your division or even district if possible, to expedite this process depending on the availability of a position being open. Communicate with them and let them know what you are willing to do. Remember, it's not always what you know, but WHO you know. It may not be fair, but that's how the game is played. Good Luck. It can be done though... [/QUOTE]
