Changing position

[Jahsyiba]

My son was told he had to quit his position at UPS before applying for an internal position. If he doesn’t get the position he applied for he will not be able to go back to his original position. This information was told by a manager. Is this true? I don’t know if his manager is lying to keep him because he is ready to quit. He’s been there for almost 5 years. Also during his orientation a few years ago he was told he can apply within, I’m just confused where the quitting fit into all this, just for him to get another position. He work in the Philadelphia area.

The only way this makes any sense is if he's a supervisor now trying to get hired as a driver.

It would REALLY help if we knew what position he has now and what position he is applying for.

Precisely helping.

The second I read Changing position and My Son….. I knew where this was going.

 

[Jahsyiba]

[Jahsyiba]

Is he trying to go to a different position in a different building?

He wants to be a driver and he’s current a supervisor.

Same location but a driver. He’s a supervisor now.

I meant going on his 4th year and he’s almost 21. Not a 5 year employee yet.

he’s a supervisor

Then he has to quit and hope they'll rehire him. It's either that or try and become a off the street hire.

Respect goes both ways.

That being said...

You are an adult.

Just as your 20 year old adult child.

At 20 i had already...

Well thats not important.

With all due respect to elders...

You watch your mouth.

Try getting that same toughness with your child and we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

But...

I am always willing to help.

He can't have "almost 5 years in" if he's 20.
