[QUOTE="Jones, post: 1941279, member: 4805"] Just about every driver I know who went into management either regrets it or doesn't appear to be any better off. Two have since quit, two others made it to center manager and then got busted back down to oncar and transferred to other buildings one was busted for changing timecards the other was just incompetence (couldn't make his numbers or whatever). There's a couple others who I really couldn't say because they're dicks and I don't talk to them, they didn't have any friends when they were drivers and they don't have any friends now. Another guy has a medical condition that was going to eventually prevent him from passing the physical so he didn't have much of a choice but he seems to be doing alright, he's a good dude. None of them ever seem to make it to other areas of the company either they all just stay right here in operations, I've seen a couple come back with the ORION implementation teams but that's just temporary duty, when it's over they go right back to package. I've had occasion to talk with 4 managers who left UPS, 3 who retired and one who quit, and all 4 of them were unequivocal about how much they hated the company by the time they left and how happy they were were to be gone. Years ago I was pressured to put my letter in, thought long and hard about it and said no and I've never regretted that decision. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
