[QUOTE="Litmus Test, post: 270000"] That's one problem - "best" managers aren't your friends. Best "friends" aren't managers. When that gets to be the case the management herd needs to be culled. You're the hired help and nothing more - and you're paid a premium for it. Live with it. The initial poster seems to be a loon. He claims 6 years hourly and 11 in management. That math doesn't work anywhere. Six years to figure out your career path? While only occupying space and burning time? BS. Not anymore. Not here. You better figure out a Teamster life is repulsive and unsatisfying within a year - preferably within four months. Testing now is specifically designed to disqualify you BEFORE you get in the program. That's to cut down on your "best managers" scenario. The general consensus in certain parts of the country is that UPS is going to lose approximately 60% of its management structure in the next eight years due to retirement alone. My personal understanding is that they intend to take 15 - 18% of vehicles off the road during that time period. Do the math. Management will decrease through attrition. Do you have a "Jobs Program?" I didn't think so. Teamster "drivers" are going to go the way of carhaul and freight in the small package division within the decade. Watch and see. [/QUOTE]
