[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 145599, member: 4823"] Most of the post by HonestlyFolks could have been my own words. I have a few minor differences:I would say that there was some real technical work to be found - but we had to take it upon ourselves, and it was above and beyond the call of duty. I am still faking it at my new job, but my UPS experience taught me to find the answers.But I can fathom it. Each of us has a story about ourself inside our head. That story ends with some version of Happily Ever After. It is difficult to accept a change in our lives that messes with our path to Happily Ever After. My story had me enduring UPS TSG until I could retire - another 16 to 18 years. In February, I had to rewrite my story. Uncertainty makes it hard to find a new path to Happily Ever After. (I'd bet I am not the only one who started buying lottery tickets, looking for Deus ex Machina.)We who have found new employment quickly forget how stressful the uncertainty was - the uncertainty of continued employment at UPS, followed by the uncertainty of finding new employment. Next, there is the uncertainty that comes with being the newbie. Nothing in this post has any meaning that is disparaging or derogatory to UPS or anyone at UPS. So there. [/QUOTE]
