[QUOTE="soberups, post: 587841, member: 14668"] Its always sad to see the ones who go into management with the best of intentions and who truly believe that they will "make a difference". Those good intentions and beliefs slowly get ground away by the one brutal fact of life as a management person at UPS; that their very survival depends upon producing impossible numbers by any means necessary. Dignity, honesty and ethics are all impediments to that survival, particularly when they approach retirement age and there is a huge financial incentive for UPS to get rid of them prior to attaining eligibility for the retiree medical benefits. I have often wondered if there is some sort of "bounty" for successfully terminating a 54 yr old supervisor. Assuming $12K a year for medical coverage times the 10 yrs between age 55 retirement and eligibility for Medicare, that adds up to a $120,000 expense involved in providing benefits for that sup after retirement. If his immediate superiors are able to whack him before he can collect, I wonder if Corporate gives them a "cut" of the resulting savings? [/QUOTE]
