[QUOTE="Whipped Dog, post: 307110"] Well, I did end up getting a new job. I started out at UPS all hopes and dreams, thinking that if I did well by the company, they'd do well by me. They didn't. There are a million examples of how UPS screws around with its management people, and you could start a whole forum on gross misconduct by upper mgmt alone, but I won't go into them. The post I did was an amalgamation of people I knew at UPS. The one guy, a supervisor in the hub, actually did run his car into a tree. Everyone says it was an accident, but when he'd get frustrated with his manager (who, by the way, was "disciplined" twice for fixing numbers - the discipline being moved from one hub shift to another), he'd say "someday I'm just going to crash my car and end all this." He survived the crash, but is on disability for a while. Another sup on the same shift went out for a nervous breakdown. Two more walked off the job. And no, I didn't major in something for the money. I actually liked my major and my job now. Admittedly, I probably would have enjoyed majoring in Theater Arts or Caribbean History (real majors at my alma mater, FYI) more than Finance, but the demand for people well-versed in the history of the rum trade in the Dominican Republic is rather slim. :-) [/QUOTE]
