[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 2300899, member: 49302"] It took me about 3 days to figure out I would never want to be a supervisor at UPS. I have plenty of supervisory experience, and I'm there specifically because of the hours (and benefits, but you don't get those for a year), so I thought maybe I'd think about it if the opportunity ever arose… but I clearly don't have the constitution or moral flexibility to rise to the level of shameless scumbaggery required to be a supervisor at UPS. I think even the dimmest of bulbs would figure it out before too long. No one I work with would ever, even for a moment, consider taking a pt sup job. Occasionally, they snare a naive ambitious newbie, but that's their only hope. Honestly, to me, it makes perfect sense to hire from outside. The longer someone is subject to managements tactics as an hourly employee, the less likely they are to buy into the propaganda they are required to spew, and the less willing to subject their former coworkers to the awful treatment they are forced to dole out as a supervisor. It's easier to convince someone that the "hourlies are all just lazy whiners who force the poor, innocent company to adhere to the outrageous and unfair terms of the evil contract the greedy union made them sign (at gunpoint)", if they have never done the job.
