[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 754996, member: 18708"] I was that same person. Started on preload in 2001, did every job in the building (unload, sort aisle, pickoffs, preload). Every position, every prelload (before PAS). I got used and abused as a youngster and no one was to blame but me. One thing to realize is you get nothing out of trying to be a hero except more work. And you will never be good enough for the company. In 2003 put a letter of intent in, did the MAPP testing, and was offered a supervisor job. However, I wasn't feeling sure about it, so stayed union. I was talked out of supervision by one of our building stewards, infact. I'm happy for that. In 2004 the same Division Manager who tried to hire me started to harrass me at least once or twice a week and he never let go until I left in 2006 in a FT bid. However, like I have said before on here, the best decision I ever made was not going into mgmt with this company. I have a degree, also technical certs (easily enough to hire into TSG or other tech based divisions), but it isn't a very appealing choice once you have seen all sides of the coin and hear supervisors, TSG, i.e. complain almost symptomatically. Staying hourly is where it's @. Have a full-time job, no responsibilities once I punch out, no care or concern for any fairy -tale numbers or heaps of meaningless paperwork. I can live my life how I want without having a monkey on the back. You are at seemingly those same very crossroads right now, so think long and hard before you make your decision AND DO NOT LET MIDDLE MGMT SKEW YOUR THOUGHTS OR ACTIONS. They will give you big smiles and handshakes if you put your letter in and pass MAPP testing , I assure you that treatment will not last. [/QUOTE]
