[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 345241, member: 927"] Brownie: I've been with UPS 32 years. 30 in management, and like Tie said, I've yet to see a hardworking honest person fired for a mistake. I've made a few big ones myself. On the other hand, I think some of your requirements can hold you back. You can desire to work in a certain function, but there is no guarantee that UPS' needs won't change. During the career development process a good manager will ask your preferences for job position. That manager won't make any promises however. For instance, you mention P.E. The P.E. function has changed much over the last few years. P.E., Automotive, and I.E., have pretty much merged into an Engineering function. Plant Engineers who thought they knew their next step, had to adjust to the new situation. These things go along with the territory. If you choose to go into management, go knowing that your job may change as the business needs change. I've worked multiple districts, regions, and functions. Now, looking back those different experiences made me better. Best of luck to you, P-Man [/QUOTE]
