[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 108986, member: 1912"] You have to ask yourself what your career goals are. Nothing wrong with aspiring to be a full time delivery driver. If thats your goal then part time supervision does nothing for you. If you plan to get your degree then being a part time sup can help. You get financial help that will help pay for school. If You have aspirations of getting a degree and getting into some competitive field of labor somewhere down the road then having the part time sup on your resume would help. You have to decide whether you enjoy interacting with people. If you do then your role as a trainer and mentor to other upsers starting out with the company could be rewarding. If not then you will find that supervising people is a big pain in the tucas. Some posters here will tell you all the negatives of being a part time sup. The headaches, frustrations and pressure to perform. To me those were no worse then the same types of headaches , frustrations and pressure to perform as a delivery driver. To me each job is a form of management since you have to manage a route and its customers as a driver. We desperately need teachers , mentors and coaches in the part time management ranks. If you're one of those then your people will respect you and your people won't be the ones quitting constantly. If not then its better to realize the job is not for you. The ones I see quitting the most are the ones that did not think this through. good luck [/QUOTE]
