[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 174258, member: 8657"] Unfortunately, many at UPS are promoted because they do well with numbers on paper, not because they know how to lead;the wrong ego in charge of others can be a disaster. Good old human nature at it's best once again. But unlike other companies where you have the same boss for 57 years or until he dies, UPS moves people around so complacency won't set in. We're lucky in that respect; we old timers survived with the saying "if you don't like the guy in charge, just wait a year and he'll be gone." Wish I had a nickle for all the people I've known who quit because they didn't like mgmt and then called back begging to be rehired later.... Many of the folks I worked with at UPS complained an awful lot but were never employed anywhere else and had no sense of comparison. According to those who regretted leaving, it's not all that bad here... Training for UPS management is not people friendly for some reason ( I have some good retired mgmt friends) but I've still known several who maintained their common sense and decency when it came to dealing with people. Hope you can be as lucky when it's all said and done! [/QUOTE]
