[QUOTE="soberups, post: 437946, member: 14668"] I know several management people who are scrupulously honest and fair. Do you know what they have in common? They are 50+ year-old on-car supervisors who have no chance at promotion and who are desperately trying to hang on until they can get out at 55 with medical benefits. Job security? Management people are considered "at will" employees. You guys can be fired, demoted or transferred at the whim of your superiors. I had a sup once who got transferred to California...on one week's notice. He had to spend his "vacation" packing and moving. Paid for every minute? Tell that to the sup who is putting in 70+ hr weeks and taking paperwork home to do on weekends. Anybody who disagrees with our need for union representation needs to first take a look at how UPS treats its own management people if they want to see what life at UPS would be like without a union contract. The topic of this thread is "how to survive peak." I survive by remembering to be grateful. I am grateful not to be in management for UPS. [/QUOTE]
