[QUOTE="SimpleUPSer, post: 276487, member: 10210"] I often hear many management people get upset that there is no opportunity for advancement, the compensation sucks and the hours are terrible. I agree that opportunity for advancement has declined due to the management reduction initiatives, integrations and acquisitions as well as the economy. This is cyclical, and every organization goes through it. That being stated, there is still opprotunity for advancement. Use tuition reimbursement, that is $5250/year of additional compensation you can get, and you will get education and/or skills that will make you more desirable for promotion at UPS or more marketable somewhere else if that is your choice. One other reason for lack of advancement is rotations or experience in other functions. This makes a person more marketable. I fully understand that this is not always the individual management person's choice, but often they do bear some of that responsibility. We all need to take some responsibility for controlling our hours. Whether it is better developing our planning and organizing skills or simply telling the boss that you need to work less hours. If they don't know, nothing will get addressed. Our compensation, when you factor in everything, may not be as bad as you think. I'm not saying that you cannot make more money elsewhere, there are certainly jobs that may offer more compensation. Just consider your options carefully. I'm not trying to say that everything is great at UPS. There are days when I want to walk out the door and never look back as well, but many of the issues we have at UPS are at other companies as well. I read something recently that most people do not quit their company, they quit their boss. This may also be a factor in how we "feel" about work every day. [/QUOTE]
