[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 370859, member: 4886"] OK, Here's my two cents. I did a stint in TSG when PMT first was being rolled out. Although I am quite literate with technology my goal was never to stay in TSG, rather to take the opportunity to learn about that aspect of UPS. Prior to being in TSG, I had many dealings with TSG, most were very good, by techs who cared. However, often I'd know and see techs that came in and spent a good chunk of their day t/w other techs in the G.O. I used to have a cube across from them, and would constantly hear them talk about all sorts of things but UPS. One day I needed something fixed on my PC, I walked over and asked for some help, they basically told me they were too busy and I'd have to wait etc. (Well before PMT). There were two techs there and there FT supv. I then asked if they wanted to hear a recap of their conversation over the last hour about Microsoft, Bill Gates etc. Needless to say they worked on my request immediately. Long story short, we had way too many people. Technology has improved, Tivoli, remote support etc. I wouldn't like it either if my job got affected like this. But in a technology job, you need to keep working on your skill and improving yourself, or you will fall behind. Keep talking about the good old days if you want, but we won't be going back to them.
