[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1450845"] Reese, if you want it, go for it. If you were offered the job, you'll get it if you go through all the steps. I'm not sure what those steps are, to be honest, other than taking a test online (MAP test, I think), which I've been told is pretty difficult to do badly on. I'm not sure about all your questions, but I think the worst thing that comes with the position is your lack of union protection. You're completely at the mercy of your higher-ups, whereas management has contractual obligations they need to keep in mind when they try to dick around an hourly employee. Not so if your boss doesn't like you as a supervisor. Also, as far as the possibility of hating the job and quitting it goes, keep in mind that I don't think it's possible to slide back into an hourly position if a management one doesn't work out. I'm under the impression that you would have to quit, re-apply for a union job, and get rehired if you wanted to stay at UPS in a non-supervisory capacity after accepting the "promotion." [/QUOTE]
