Well, here's my opinion for what it's worth. No personal attacks intended, no names mentioned, OK?
I've noticed that new posters often receive sarcastic remarks as answers. Seems to me they would come in and post due to a problem or lack of understanding of how the company works. When they are criticized right off the bat, they don't continue to post.
They don't know the people here or their personalities. They don't see the winks, smiles or understanding eyes that may lie behind the posts.
Posts are oten hijacked, with the results being age-old bantering between familiar members, not easily understood by newcomers. Often no constructive conversation evolves.
Spell checkers and grammer police. Did I spell grammer right or is it grammar? I don't care.
There's what I often see here. I take what I can use and leave the rest but I have an understanding of what sort of folks survive at UPS. Thick skin and and "attitude" are key to this survival. Many new folks just don't understand that or have not yet developed it. As we see from company turnover many folks never go that far insane.
I rarely make a new post. I have had great results and help from many members here. The support is incredible if you know who is actually helpful and who isn't. However, I am careful with new posts and can usually anticipate what I'll receive as an answer. That right there is usually enough for me to resist.
Ok, there it is. Again, no personal attacks intended. Just my own opinion which may be shared by some and rejected by others. No right or wrong, no good or bad; just individual personalities and it's all good. Those who are not comfy here have the option to not return and I believe that happens frequently.
