Rep Power: 6041 |  Are you fit for command?
From time to time, we get inquisitive souls posting here asking about the pros and cons of becoming a manager in some capacity at ups. Well, who better than Mr. Vader , himself, to explain what it is like on the DARK SIDE |

When I started 20 yrs ago it was the thing to do. I never did it (no interest). The company threw alot of money your way, gave you alot of stock and people were living fat. Now fast forward to today no raises , no 401k match, and if you piss off the wrong person your supervising the carwash in Juneau Alaska!!! I have friends who did it and wished they didn't. I'm glad with the choice I made and I'll be retired at 51.... So no I'm not fit for command, hell I'm barely fit type this without spelling anything wrong!!!!

The force is strong in these two but nothing can beat the power of the dark side. I will eventually get to dilligaf and force her to reveal the location of what planet the rebels forces are hiding. Once I crush the rebellion, nothing will be able to stop the empire!  | |
