Network find out who are the sales reps in your building and start networking. Do your current job at 110%. Try to get into part-time management, and continue to build your network. Tell your full-time manager that you are interesting into going into management. There is a formal promotion process. If your interest are in sales you must sale yourself first. Don't look at other management positions with distain keep an open mind. Good luck!

It's sad that the management can't rise above the stress and learn how to thrive in choas while encouraging their group of drivers to excel in difficult times. Just know for all the bad mangement there are good managers at there in the UPS workforce. Hang tuff and do your best each day because bad management does not last forever.

If the world was a whiteboard instead of going green it will be growing brown.

As they say in our center ....."have map will travel". I sure don't miss those days of running routes in the blind.

thats why we have a contract with management employee relations clauses. ups wants unrest right now between supervisors and teamsters so be careful they are looking for any reason at all to get rid of high paid people

Being a driver is not all its cracked up to be. I get harrassed daily by sups. I have a 3 year old who barely knows who I am. The only time I spend at home is on the weekend. I would think really hard about being a driver. If all this sounds like fun, more power to ya. Don't say you weren't warned.

sucker

ok....

Good question! Know what does our Union say?

where is this cus i hate being a package handler i want to drive already lol

i hear you i am new to ups just 2 month under my belt and i had a difrent view of things before starting and now it just nuts but i do understand there part but supervisor's and manager's should treat there employees with respect!

Our current contract with UPS doesn't expire until 2013.

Today was great. Didn't have to leave the Ponderosa at all!

I totally feel you on that, I was with the company for 5 1/2 yrs and I got thrown under the bus by other PT supervisors like myself. I had a really terrible injury occur that is going to stay with me for the rest of my life due to poor equipment, I spoke with several attorneys and no one would even pick up my case. I was wrongfully terminated but because I stood my ground and wasn't willing to compromise myself to make them happy. They began to pry into my private life to get me out of the company. I could've turned a lot of people in for situations similar to mine but I figured I'd be no better than them. It's really not fair the way the company does some people especially if you had a prescription and the doctor said it wouldn't affect your ability to drive. It sounds to me like they were trying to find a reason to let you go. I'm sorry.
