[QUOTE="area43, post: 204878, member: 4862"] Curious, If anyone would have the stats(percentage) on the number of people that have retired, from the mgt ranks. Ive been with UPS for 22 yrs and in our center there has been none. In 2000, UPS brought in a head hunter,center manager(Basically one of their own hired Guns) to clean house. Within 2 years all ft and pt sups were gone. One ft sup had 30 yrs(16 ft driver and 14 as ft sup) his numbers were good, but a dishonest act got him into trouble. Before anyone jumps on the band wagon on the "dishonest acts" subject let me just remind you. Ye who are without sin cast the first stone. This sup was well liked by all. That does not justify it.

He started it, inspected it(as if he were a mechanic), then told a newby driver to take it and go make some pick ups. Long story short the problem with the red tagged vehicle was that it was leaking fuel above and on the engine(diesel). Went to panel all he received was a slap on the wrist.
