[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 1036536, member: 927"] Sober: I agree with much of what you say here, but there are some differences. I also have this 95% number in my head. About 5% of managers I deal with are not decent people. About 5% of drivers I deal with are not decent people. I do NOT think that 5% of management are the ones that get promoted. The majority of them fizzle out. But..... That 5% do A LOT of damage. They sour work groups. They taint UPS. I can't tell you the number of times I've worked with a driver that had a bad attitude and it stemmed from one of those 5 %'ers..... The 5% of drivers really do little harm outside of their area. I think there is also another category of management. These are people that are good and decent, but not fully competent for their job. A good person and good driver does not necessarily make a good management person. Especially in today's data driven, change driven, and competition driven environment. There is a difference between a manager who is not decent and one who is not fully competent.... But it's hard to see that difference. I also think there is a difference between hatred and criticism. Sometimes it's hard to see that difference as well. [/QUOTE]
