Reasons a driver would want to go into Management

[brownmonster]

You have the desire to make the company better and improve operations. You want to promote teamwork and create a positive work environment.
You would like to implement some cost saving initiatives while maintaining or improving customer service.
You want to improve delivery efficiency by fixing dispatch problems instead of pushing increased productivity.

My vote for the best reason! WOW!

You would be roasted on I.E.'s BBQ grill like a burnt and shriveled up hot dog.

those are very good reasons to go into management. I still wouldn't want that job. You take crap from drivers and upper management.

The abilty to ruin every drivers day in your work group. And then you go home in eight and let the PM OMS sort out the trouble.

You can be promoted to your level of incompetence.

Make a drivers day by telling him/her to "just swing by" and deliver the misload that is 20 miles of your route.........

id like to go into managment so i could let my body go like they do. wouldnt it be fun to be able to walk around morbidly obese and not worry about breaking would hip getting off a 800

we have a dispatch supervisor and a operations manager who are both easily over 400 lbs

i watched one today pick up something off the ground, it took him about 15 minutes

and the other literally can barely walk, he takes 10 steps and is out of breath............everytime i ever see him if hes not sitting he is leaning on something and sweating.....no joke, every single time

hes so fat his legs have bowed

not to mention hes a heavy smoker.....people like that disgust me, i guarantee he doesnt live past 55

I wish I had thought of this one. It's happened to me often enough.

Tell the driver you hated when you were a driver: I'll get someone to help you with those stops later...

When he dies, you can pee on his grave.

"and the other literally can barely walk, he takes 10 steps and is out of breath..........."

we have one like that we call him "darth" (vader). honestly... how do you let youself go like that? a driver went managment 1 year ago and i swear he went from 150-160 to over 200 and is about 5'8"

Thanks brownmonster for supporting those managers who do try to make a difference. My on-road might be young and female but she works hard and really does care about her drivers. She's here when we come in and still here when we leave. Unfortunately she'll probably burn out soon and UPS will lose a good employee!

we had a dock supervisor here, was a former driver

made the mistake of going to management and regretted it soon after

he was a hell of a guy, he really was...very religious.....he was the fairest person from any management team ive ever seen, he really cared about his employees

unfortunately his superiors was always on him for something.....he worked 14 hour days, on SALARY....he finally got tired of it, and before he put in his 2 week notice asked if he could start over as a driver....he knew there was a 99% chance they would say no, and they did say no

he was replaced by, no lie, a 19 year old and a 600 lb dispatch supervisor who is hated so much anywhere he goes people do whatever it takes to get him out which is why hes always movin around
