[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 161497, member: 1664"] Your post is the exact reason I turned down a management position decades ago. Having seen a sup get a phone call on friday at 5 pm being told his new position is 200 miles away and to report early Monday, when he hung up the phone and told me what just happened to him I asked him ,"What about your family?" his only response was that his wife had to quit her job and the kids had to change schools. A lightbulb went off over my head. Three days later, I had to lock the door in my center managers office while he had a nervous breakdown. We talked for about an hour while drivers were knocking on the door to ask him a question. He resigned that week. I was approached to go into management, soon after. I declined. I was a seasonal employee and decided then that if I made fulltime I would just stay a driver. 20 years later, I am still just a driver. Living on the same 20 acres that I still call home. I have seen come and go. 6 division managers 13 center managers Alot of on road sups, never keep count of them. Quessing about 20. I felt I would be selling my soul and my life if I went into management. People post why doesn't UPS stock grow more. The analysts I have read sight high employee turnover rate. I will just be a driver until my body cannot do the job or when my wife tells me it is time to sit the box down and step away. [/QUOTE]
