[QUOTE="trixie, post: 988245, member: 19175"] Non ops job doesn't mean you will stay there. They don't seem to be rotating people the way they have in years past but if they do move you and you say no they will punish you for years. Like I said, I've been in IE and HR. Most supervisors work when the sorts are running. There is an HR and IE person for each sort. So plan on nights and super early mornings. UPS for the most part is "down" during the day while the drivers are delivering and picking up from 8 to 5 and then everything else fires up when they finish their day. In 26 years I have made a lot of friends across every department in our company. EVERYONE says the same thing...their personal life has suffered because of their job. Never home, never reasonable hours. A lot of management are on their second marriage or having an affair with a co-worker (who they see more than their family). If you can hang on until early retirement the average longevity of a UPSer retiring at 55 is 7 years. :( its the stress. You can try all you want to get done and get out to make a game or recital but you will be taunted by co-workers for actually leaving at 10 hours and actually doing it will be the exception, not the rule. Supervising employees sucks. Sales sucks, HR sucks, IE sucks. I haven't been in Finance but I know people there who say it sucks. If you can get your job done, congrats you get more to do. On and on until all you do is complete the current hot item and apologize later for what didn't get done and take the punishment and listen to them tell you that you're a piece of crap. No one is exceptional. If you think you are they will show you you're not. Goals are impossible. Always. Numbers rule. Just trying to paint a realistic picture.
