[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 395081, member: 12912"] Is the money better in PT supervising compared to PT union hourly? Yes it is, but again, more money more problems. Also, you'll be working more hours to get the money and you will be expected to make UPS your life [i]even as a part-time supervisor[/i] The best thing to do is look at it this way.... if you want to be a P/T supervisor and a P/T sup only, you will be abused and basically forced out after a period of time. Upper management does not want P/T supervisors for very long periods of time. After a few years your raises will be lower and lower until eventually you won't be getting anything. They force out complacency. [b]The smartest decision I have made in the past 7 years was not going into management. [/b] I'm sure it's different for everyone of course. 7 years later, I have a full-time job at UPS to help pay for school and finish degree in a few years, I would have never met my fiance, and I have time to work on a second career on the side with ease. If you want a life outside UPS (as others mention), strongly consider not making UPS your livleyhood. those 3 things beautiful things I mentioned would not be possible if I had gone into lower management and tried to work my way up like alot of kids so desperately try to do with this company. I was 22 when I started, now turning 30. [/QUOTE]
