[QUOTE="drazzy93, post: 2509510, member: 64619"] Yeah, I agree with you. It's just that the stuff I have read from other posters on these boards have left me with a really bleak outlook on UPS. Sometimes I wish I had never joined this board because so many people basically joke about how package handlers have "a snowball's chance in hell" when it comes to FT driving, how PT supervision sounds enticing at first but is nothing more than becoming the sacrificial lamb for your FT supervisors, and so many more. Some people on here really make it sound like being a package handler is all you can expect to do. Btw, I edited my last post to make it a little more clear, and I added some more stuff to it for which I'd really like to hear feedback. I'm just mainly worried that I'll end up working here for years, and realize that I've been duped all along. That the wonderful relationships I have with my supervisors, the raving reviews I get from them, them making it sound like I can actually establish a career with this position if I just put in my hard work. Realizing after 6 years of hard work that all of these were just essentially a carrot being dangled over my head the whole time. I'm really upset right now because my department essentially just hired a random person off the street to become a PT supervisor for our department just because she had "supervisor experience." I think it's ridiculous -- They should have promoted someone from within. I know my coworker would have been more than happy to do it, and I might even have been willing despite what I've read on these forums. It really gnaws at me on the inside that they hired someone right off the streets who knew absolutely nothing about small sorts and package handling/UPS to be a freaking PT supervisor. [/QUOTE]
