[QUOTE="techie, post: 257038"] Well i'm glad i checked this out. All of you are so on the money. The micromanagement that began with HDFS and PMT, said it all, they turned our dept., into the our functions, a numbers operation, what a waste of time. Our function is SUPPORT, you support the issues that arise. I don't have ESP so that i can plan what problems are going to happen, hell if i knew that i would fix it before it became a problem. What's really funny is that both HDFS and PMT are so easily manipulated, as a TSG tech we have admin rights and since both HDFS and PMT utilize the current computer date and time to close, all you would have to do is change the local date and time and low-and-behold you would never miss an SLA or any PMT crap again. Things do look bleak, our district is starting to incorporate SCS sites and they are going to help support external, I saw that one coming way back when they made them UPSERS. The writing on the wall prompted me to get my bachelors and several microsoft certifications for developing and DBA. I too am a tech with a lot of seniority, the 4 weeks is cool, but i too agree with all of you, get out. GET OUT while you can, i'm currently looking elsewhere, as the career path for I.T. is so lacking at UPS. Who wants to be stuck in the I.E.(idiot for everything) dept., and lose all those I.T. skills. Anyone can be in the other depts, but not just anyone can function successfully in I.T. There are also rumors regarding a buy out coming in early 2008, not sure if it's going to be offered to techs, plus there is also another rumor about the retirement plan being switched to a cash value plan, which really stinks because i was trying hard to make it to 20 and then leave. I'm hoping that we will get offered the buy out, at least leave with something in my pocket. We'll see.... [/QUOTE]
