Part-time Supervisor test passed... time until promotion?

[ZetaTheCoyote]

So everybody I've asked at the Lexington hub has given me such a mixed variety of answers to this question that I am really unsure of who to believe. On the 3rd of December I passed the part-time supervisor test. Now I'm just simply waiting to be notified of when I get this position. How long does this notification usually take to get to me? From multiple supervisors I've heard numbers that are so ridiculously far apart that I am utterly confused--one said he was made a supervisor within a week of taking it, one told me it was seven months, and another told me it was a year and a half. Could anybody offer some clarification?

It's Peak------don't expect anything on this until Peak is over.

Well okay, when peak season ends, what would the estimated waiting time be?

Why are you in such a hurry?

As I already have my college degree, I'm going to feel like I'm quite the underachiever (as if I don't feel like this already) if I don't get some kind of advancement by springtime.

PT supervisor at UPS really isn't much of an advancement.

Just wait until you actually are "promoted" to PT sup.

 

[trickpony1]

So you're saying your self worth and self esteem hinges on what ups thinks of you?

Sad...really sad.

Well correct me if I'm wrong, but getting the PT supervisor position is the first step in gaining said advancement opportunities, yes? That's what UPS has been stressing to me.

Tbh it's more about feeling on par with the rest of my family who excel in everything they do. Not really so much about appeasing anybody at UPS but myself.

Depends upon the staffing at your center/hub.

Becoming a PT supervisor is not going to satisfy that goal.

Sibling rivalry isn't healthy and should end in the early 20's.

Part time sup is not the way to get to that.

But now that I think about it...maybe you could lead a personally meaningless existence as a PT sup, but still impress family the same way you might a future employer who doesn't realize how meaningless the role actually is. Ya know, looks better on paper and all that.

Think the key is probably to decide whether you want to do what's best for you over the long term, or what looks best to family right now.

I screwed up post #12.
My words begin at "Sibling rivalry...".

You will learn.

I'm surprised Ricky hasn't made the "pervert" list.

 

[trickpony1]

The OP apparently hasn't learned that UPS will tell him anything they think he is stupid enough to believe.

off topic, but give it time
