[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 372796, member: 4653"] I have posted before that unless you have the smarts, desire, education, and the intangibles to make it to division manager then I would suggest staying put. As a driver, once you park your package car on-line and punch-out on a friday before vacation you can forget about UPS for a week. Do you think a center manager enjoys that luxury before his week in Cancun?? In a candid conversation with my center manager, who I respect and like told me about his responsibilties and what it takes to run a center (he garnered more respect from me with his list of responsibilties than I thought possible!). I responded with a comment about how I like that when I punch-out UPS and work don't affect me. He responded by saying "Think about J Overtime", (he was refering to a full-time driver that is scheduled evey day to do EAMS before his route and that equates to about 57-58 hours per week), his and my pay do not differ by that much. This conversation made me realize its better to stay put. I would rather work the OT and be paid for my certain time, instead of getting stuck working 80 hours (because our center manager works more that that) and not being compensated fairly for it. My center manager told me he comes in on weekends! I don't want any part of that unless I'm being paid OT or I'm headed up that mangement ladder. In package operations, the center team is working many more hours than I do and they are not compensated for that. I could not live with that. I'd rather bust my but physically (instead of mentally and physically) and stay a driver. This way I get paid for my time. I sorry, but I think on-car sup has to be the worst job at UPS, bar none. I'm sorry to offend every on-car(especially mine:dissapointed:) that reads this forum, but its my opinion. You are there 1.5 hours before my start time and you are still there when I get in at night. You have to train otherwise normal people(newhires) to do a route. It kills you because 50 stops must be taken of this route and given to the rest of your group. Now these 3 drivers that you gave the 50 stops to are all over 10 hours. How can you win? You have 1 driver that you are with dispatched with 6 hours and the other 3 in your group over 10! Makes you look like a putz, right? Makes me think driving is the best job at UPS. If I could do something about the pain I feel everyday, then it would be no question driving is the best job!
