[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1073019, member: 7966"] I'm just going by the changes imposed on UPS when it became public. Level 20 is the lowest level of VP at UPS which has defined responsibilities and authority. Consequently, all significant forms at UPS (PDD's, RFCs, etc.) require a Level 20 or higher before it will be acted on. Most real decisions at UPS (within my purview*) are made at a Level 20 or higher. Shortly after UPS went public, the level 18's were gathered in Corporate and explained the fact that there would be a significant differences in compensation and benefits going forward (along with increased authority and accountability). These expressed differences along with my observations (albeit in the Corporate arena) have led me to strongly believe that there is a clear and observable difference in Level 20 and above. I have even spoke of this "apparent" new level of partnership with Level 20's, Level 22's and even one Level 24. They did not object to this way of viewing the partnership and seemed to acknowledge its existence. Maybe the more acceptable term to be used is Junior and Senior partnership. I don't really have any strong feelings about this new division in the partnership (It is what it is) as it was always there to some extent. Even a Level 22 (District Manager) did not have freehand to make large expenditures back in the day. So with that said, I'm not sure about my undertone ... it is apparent and even makes sense to me and probably inevitable within an extremely large publicly-traded corporation. I am curious as to the undertone you speak of. Perhaps if you expressed what the attributes and consequences of that undertone are, it could be of educational benefit to our younger "partners". [I]*In this instance, purview means t[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]he range of vision, insight[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana], or understanding.
