[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 804003, member: 484"] Several other posters have touched on several things. Rather than waiting for a chance, make your own path. While part time, go to school. UPS will help pay for some of your classes etc. And with all the gazillion dollars that education has spent on it, you should be able to finish school without digging a deep hole. Secondly, learn all you can about other jobs. Yes, you will have managers that will take advantage of you and your abilities, but when you are the go to guy/gal, people do take notice. Believe in yourself. AT UPS, there are a lot of people/influences that will try to minimize your potential and your being outstanding. Unions are a good example. There is no external reward for excellence as a union member. You get paid exactly the same as the laziest scumbag on the sort/delivery unit. That tends to lower everyone to his/her level. Dont allow that to happen. Do your best, every day, then try to improve your best. Believe you can, then do it. Negativity breeds discontent. Dont allow yourself to be surrounded by negative people. I really believe as has been stated, that there are people right now at UPS that have the ability and talent to lead UPS into the future. I also believe that upper management is micro managing to the point that lower levels of management do not have the ability to shine, all they have become are messengers. I also believe that as in many companies, that the board will look elsewhere, as the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence..... and that is why we will no longer have someone from the ranks lead our company. I too have seen a lot of part time sups go full time, usually drive first though. But a lot of them have also stayed on as an hourly in delivery. As for a better chance of hitting the lottery, if you dont work for your future, then you will get whatever someone feels like giving you. But if you go out and grab the bull by the balls, you will move. Maybe not at UPS, but there are other companies that do pay well. Best d [/QUOTE]
