[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 827610, member: 31608"] What Nim said. It's a lot of ivory tower stuff - theory of how to manage people, but there is a bit of exploration of how the theory translates into practice. An example would be how to deal with a belligerent employee - the policies and books have these "levels of intensity", and it all sounds groovy, but in reality a troublesome situation rarely plays out so cut and dry that you can apply what you've learned textbook; although, the same could be said for almost anything, I suppose. If you work in an extended center, the classes may or may not run the full week - sometimes they run only four days and the fifth day is only for hub people; often times, too, supervisors who have had the job for years will be in the course, so they can help out the newer folks. You'll also walk around the hub and familiarize yourself (on the surface, at least) with certain tasks - safe work methods, etc. Remember, too, to ask for a mileage sheet - UPS can (at least, so I hear) reimburse you for the difference of the miles traveled above what you normally travel to work; which is to say, if it is a 20 mile drive to work, and you drive 25 miles to your class, that would be 5 days times 5 miles, UPS would give you bucks for the 25 miles. edit: oops, old post :P [/QUOTE]
