[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 371700, member: 14596"] OK, I forgot, all UPS management have no integrity. We are all thieves and cheats and eat babies for breakfast. Now, I could make a counter claim and in some smarmy way imply that you and most hourlies are just not smart enough and lack the ambition to be in management. But that would be ignorant. Like, I don't know, saying you have to have no integrity to be in management.
