[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 565186, member: 484"] Mike Your anxiety disorder could be a real drawback at UPS if you let it. There are many sups out there that would play on that high strung nature of yours just to get to you. You have to find a way to control it instead. When I first started, I had two sups that would get their jollies off by keeping me so torn up that I had problems sleeping, had serious issues with my marriage, and physically was leaving me a wreck. Follow the instructions of one would lead to the other trying to fire me for a multitude of reasons. It was at that time that I developed a real hatred for UPS in general, and those managers in particular. It was to the point that I could never ever say a good thing about UPS. Thank God I had a center manager that transfered in that put things in the proper perspective. Never forget him telling me that I work for UPS, not the sups. Those sups will come and go, but I and UPS would still be in the same position, with the same relationship. He also got me to understand that while I was not perfect, I was over all a dang good employee, one that had a lot of skills and potential. He also told me that I needed to look objectively at my day at UPS. I would be the one to know if I could have improved on that day, and what I needed to do to get that improvement. And for sure, I really didn't need to listen to those sups to develop my sense of self worth. You know, he was right. I allowed them to get under my skin, treat me like a used condom, then make me think it was all my fault. Yeah the games continued, until they realized they were not messing with my head anymore. And after a while, the games quit. You will always run into jerks, mean, or even sadistic sups during your career at UPS. The trick is to not let them get into your head to play their games, and sooner or later they will either quit or move on. And believe it or not, having someone to talk to helps, whether wife or co worker. I also think that is why this site is so valuable as well. It allows discussion of issues like this without personal judgments. d [/QUOTE]
