[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1349150, member: 17605"] Alright craft...suffice to say that I do agree with you. Many of us just choose not to go into management because it's not where our skills lie or we can see the writing on the wall for most of our sups. To be honest in the 18yrs I've been at UPS I've outlasted all of the PT sups I've known and a solid 75% of the FT sups. It's going to be an education and only a few people have the social grace and patience required to get the job done. For all the reasons you've given I do applaud your choice. I haven't seen you say you're going into management just for the money but to use UPS as a stepping stone for better things. Bravo! But do not in anyway look down on someone for staying pt as a loader or shifter, pickoff, irregulars...any of that. I can only speak for myself but I'm sure there's others. I'm pt still because of a divorce and the pt schedule makes it so I can take care of my littles myself instead of paying for daycare. Some do it to supplement their income or for the insurance. We all know the pt sup job isn't for everyone...it's rough...I'd say 60% of them get shellshocked once they find out how district and division mangers see how things run. Some managers have horrible people skills and demean others. It's rough and tumble. Good luck to you! [/QUOTE]
