[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1337043, member: 32753"] How many different "divisions"-for lack of a better term - are there, eg. Operations, TSG, LP, Sales, etc? I am guessing management can be transferred between any of these levels if needed, although I believe Pho said UPS is more about specialization now, so they wouldn't switch you guys around much. Having said that though, my current center manager was a hub mgr; my area on-car (we have three in our center) ran the air driver op when I first met him, and spent some time in LP (which he said he liked); and the neighboring center manager in my hub was a sales mgr for a while. I didn't realize before seeing her how integrated sales is with operations, although it makes sense now. Might/Have UPS do/done something similar with UPS Freight managers in relation to the other div/depts? If a center manager is posted to a bldg mgr position (and yes, my hub has one, although I do not know who the current one is), given that the BM is one letter lower, is that considered a demotion? I can see how it might not be (just as being moved off a route that used a trailer - pup to one without one, while not offering the same amount of base pay, is not a demotion), but I can see how it might be perceived as one. Speaking about that supv who ran the air driver op, but is now an on-car, who would he report to? An on-car would report to the center manager, a preload supv to the PM, but the air supv? (and is he an air on - road supv? Also, is his subordinate a FT specialist? I've always looked at the air supv as a lower mgr, with his subordinate(s) being on-cars, but in light of this discussion I am realizing they are supvs, too, so who is their mgr? [/QUOTE]
