[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 204107, member: 9789"] Brownboss, Worldwide gave you some good advice. When he referred to being "always on", I liken that to being in a fishbowl. Every move you make is held under the microscope and reviewed (more so than any other employee). There are only three ways for a management person to go back to the non-managment (hourly) ranks. 1) A PT supervisor may be promoted to driver. This is never a guarentee and if you do not make it as a driver you will be dismissed. 2) A mgmt person quits at one location and hopes to get rehired in another location. You would have to be held in high regard to even be considered again. 3) Extraordinary life changing circumstances - highly unlikely but plausible. More plausible would be a mgmt position to fit the life changing circumstance PROs The experience and skill that I developed as a mgmt person has been invaluable to me in all other areas of my life. I never regretted going into mgmt. Some of the best advice that I learned was that a good leader has to be a good follower first and foremost. A good leader has to aquire excellent listening skills and treat all people with respect. You are always challenged. If you have what it takes, you will be recognized for. CONS If you don't have what it takes. Your "career" will be miserable. You are always "on". [I]"[U]Part time[/U] is full time, and [U]Full Time[/U] is all the time!"[/I] !! There are those people who will try to keep you from being successful. It could be mgmt or non-mgmt for different reasons. Every skill you posess will be constantly challenged and those that you do not posess will be stand out! You need to balance work and home. Don't wait for the company to do it for you. [/QUOTE]
