[QUOTE="david426, post: 995752, member: 5015"] I've been with the Company for almost 27 years.. I started part time in 1985, became a Union Steward in 1986, because I saw so many contract violations, it made me sick. I received a degree (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration).. I applied for a Full time Management (1991).. I was told that I must work as a Full-Time Package Car Driver before a promotion was considered for me.. I learned very quickly that the Managers and Supervisors I worked for had little education and that UPS has a Command and Control Management style.. In other words, upper management dictates and middle management controls and upholds those dictations.. [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] rolls downhill..
