[QUOTE="technicallyspeaking,, post: 151522"] BT, I can some it up for us; If you are unhappy with your job, change your attitude or change the job. If you find doing tech work more important than which company you do it at, consider going to a different company. Conversely, if you like UPS and its benefits more than you regard job satisfaction, then stay at UPS -- and try to find a way to tolerate it. If your absolute passion is technology, think about whether UPS can fulfill this calling. If it can (such as at Mahwah or Atlanta), strive for the dream. If you cannot fulfill your dreams, move on to another company. Maybe I didn't sum this up very well, who knows. I have seen where so many people think that UPS is the best they can do in life. For some, this might be true. For a transportation worker, UPS is awesome. For technical people, UPS is just ordinary -- technician's are paid the least of all full-time employees at UPS (exception being clerical workers). There is little training and even less advancement opportunity. This is not typical of the job market. Then again, UPS does offer benefits that are on-par or exceed the industry. I think the benefit offerings are things that keep many people at UPS. UPS is a powerful and established company, with a proven record of transportation excellence. It is not, however, a Mecca for technical workers. Again, you have to decide what you want from UPS. Maybe it can give it to you, maybe it cannot. Once you figure it out, you might have a hard decision to make. [/QUOTE]
