[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 331668, member: 927"] Mastula, Please don't take this negatively, but you and you husband need to have a long conversation and decide what it is you and he really need and want. If the main goal here is to attain a full time job so that you can have more money, you may need to rethink your situation. He is applying for a full time management position. This is a great job, but only for the right person. He will be held accountable not only for his work but the performance of others. He will be responsible for fixing things that are hard to control and often may seem uncontrollable. Unless he has a very strong ability to plan, communicate, and hold others accountable, it may seem overwhelming. Remember, he is not applying for a full time job, but a full time MANAGEMENT position. Again, please don't take this negativley, but look at your own words. When you say "screw them, and move on", you're talking about the same people he is asking to join. I do not believe he is being "strung on". I believe that what is happening is that openings are not coming up as quickly as originally predicted. I think you're in Pa? The region there collapsed. People became available and filled opened slots. In addition, volume is down. Volume = Jobs. I know that a freeze was put in on all replacements until volume (or attrition) catches up. You should not let you family be impacted by waiting for UPS when a full time job in another company may be available. You also should not let your family be impacted by waiting for a UPS job that he (and you) will not like. Again, it can be a great ride for the right person. I was a part time supervisor 30 years ago. I eventually went full time and have done and learned more than I would have ever dreamed. There's a great reward, but also a great sacrifice. Please do it with the right attitude and with your eyes open. Best of luck to you both, P-Man [/QUOTE]
