[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 72391, member: 1912"] If you're trying to lock in your fortune when you first get into management then you probably should stay put. From what I have seen a promotion to friend/t sup will lead to approximately a 10 to 30 percent increase over your previous earnings depending on the part of the country you're in. Your initial salary will not provide you with a comfortable living. Your efforts once promoted, the stock and how you invest will. Much has been made of the UPS management retiring millionaires. Many of those folks hypo present stock holdings to buy even more. That investment strategy coupled with steady reliable stock growth is what got them their millions. With the 401 K and 3 percent match in ups stock you could expect to do even better. Load up on the 401K for 25 years to 30 years and you could expect to do a whole lot better. The base salary is a nice starting point but what you and the company do once your're in will dictate your financial future. its not easy by any means. You will be expected to walk on water and live at UPS when the baby ( your operation) is sick. Many of your people will support you and advise you if you are receptive. Some will jam you and belittle you every chance they get simply because they dispise management or had a bad experience with management at some time in their life. Your desire to excel and your personal belief system will be tested constantly. You have to totally devoid yourself of any appearances of favoritism , immorality or unethical behavior. You have to learn to lead by example in attitude and perseverance at all times. You can never let yourself get down because you are having a rough time at work. You have to be the straw that stirs the drink. You have to be the person that confidently leads your team in the right direction. At the same time buying a driver a beer or bringing in coffee and donuts "just because" can make you human. You have to learn to say thank you and yet rarely expect to recieve a thanks in return. In fact you probably should make up for the sins of all management and learn to say thank you too much. There are days I hate my job with passion. There are days I leave walking on air; ecstatic over how well things are going. You have to learn how to translate and buffer the commands from above to something your people can relate to. You have to learn to avoid getting yourslef into a style where you constantly chase the flavor of the month or are constantly putting out fires. Your people will appreciate consistency as compared to confusing and constantly changing direction. You have to learn to make time for your people. To gather their input and ideas.The temptation will be to make your own decisions as the boss and therefore do things expeditously and your way. In the process you become part of the blame and you never get buy in or support from your people. Leadership leads but should not always dictate. My point to all this.The money is and will be fine if you invest wisely. If its all you're worried about at this point then you may not be mentally prepared for the challenges of management. Our people are tired of leadership for the wrong reason. Our future depends on our promoting people who are innovative in leading and developing people.
