[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 821206, member: 9789"] And you do what you do because you [I][B]can't [/B][/I] do what they do. [I][B]Can't[/B][I] is a pretty strong word. Most of the on-road management team came directly from your job and (even if they didn't), if they did it as long as you they would have similar skill level. I realize that some people have a hard time taking direction from others but each of us has a job to do and the key is to do it to the best of our ability. Just because it has been a long time since I drove does not mean I can't get on a car right now and point out methods infractions that could help you in the performance of your job. Some may not have your skill set but they do have a skill set to do their assigned job. There is a reason why you don't want to go into management and a reason why those in management don't want to be a driver and it usually is not because you (or they) [I][B]can't[/B] [/I]do the job it is because you (or they) want something different. The biggest problem that I saw with 3 day rides before I left the company is that it the rides are done with the wrong intention. If a supervisor actually gets on the car for the right intention they might be able to make a difference! Non-management vs management problems stem from lack of respect, lack of communication and wanting to win. I will get off the soap box.[/I][/I] [/QUOTE]
