[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1053703, member: 14668"] The overwhelming majority of management people I have worked for over the last 25 years have been people of integrity. Unfortunately for them...they are also people who have no real chance of getting promoted beyond the level of Center Manager. My observations over the last 25 years tell me that in order to rise above that level, one must check one's ethics at the door to a certain extent in order to make one's numbers look good enough to be considered for promotion. I also tend to make a distinction between a dishonest act done for personal gain versus a dishonest act done for the sake of survival. UPS management is a brutal, predatory, cutthroat line of work, with no real job security, and to an extent I can forgive someone who cuts a few corners simply to avoid getting fired. We all have families to feed and I cant say I wouldnt do the same thing if I were in their shoes. Its tougher for me to have any empathy for the "corporate climbers" who are so hell-bent on advancement that they will stop at nothing to make their numbers look better. It has been my experience that these are the worst and most dishonest people to have to work for. They are also the ones who inevitably get promoted. [/QUOTE]
