[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 803530, member: 4816"] Foups, In my UPS career I performed both many hourly as well as Management positions. Unlike a previous poster I know that you do not have to "kiss ass" to get ahead. He seems to be a real expert on the Management positions that he himself has never held. With that being said Management is not for everyone. I fully respect either position or decision whether to persue an hourly job or a management career. Over a very long period I observed both very successful and dismal failures in Management. It is a huge committment and you must have in your "bag" a whole host of abilities not all but including communication skills,organizational skills, People skills, Accountability skills,Common sense, Conflict resolution skills, leadership skills , patience and last but not least Integrity. Some of these skills can be learned but the more you already have the easier it will be. In today's UPS you have to be even more qualified than in the past. A strong education backround is a plus. The recent Management reductions mean many more people "competing" for the next promotion. It is not an easy decision and should not be taken lightly. Does not mean that you should not step forward. Just think somewhere in the Company the CEO' s of the future might still be among the hourly ranks ---Many people are successful in Management and have very fufilling careers loaded with great risks and many rewards. Many people love the challenge of relocation having the opportunity of working not only in many different states but also many different countries. Weigh different advice pro and con but bottom line get the most information you can and YOU make the best decision for what YOU want to do in life. There are no "easy " paths at UPS --Management and hourly have demanding difficult jobs. Hope I have helped just a little bit.:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
