[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 336155, member: 927"] Then why were you not fired? Don't get me wrong either. If you were told to "sit down, shut up", that was not appropriate or professional. Verbal abuse is not an acceptable treatment. I've been in management for 30 years. I've worked the hub just like you and I've made many mistakes over the years. As I've progressed in my career, my mistakes got bigger. They've been balanced by many, many more good things that I've done. I've been reprimanded when needed, but generally I already felt bad about my mistake. One mistake does not make it over. Its rare to be fired over a single mistake, in fact you could argue that we are too lenient with management blunders. Management is about planning and getting work done through others. You're right, no one has you back, that's what management is. Remember, full time management make up less than 10% of the UPS workforce. Division managers and above are less than 1%. By the way, the real question for a supervisor in your shoes is what are you going to do different next time? What is your plan moving forward? I'm sorry you were treated unprofessionally, but sometimes a thick skin and a good plan are a supervisors best friends. P-Man [/QUOTE]
