[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5108674, member: 77939"] It depends. What job did they start with? Why are they there? What are their life goals? If it's clear they are there to help with college, not much to say. They'll be gone soon. Easy come easy go. If I had it all to do over again.....would have done all I could to get into Mgt. As awful as that seems.....(for me) my retirement would have been exponentially better. By a bunch. This is based on how it used to be. I would have also worked toward getting a cushy PE gig or Aviation job(in Mgt.)(To get away from "operations"). To be clear: I WOULD NEVER BE IN OPERATIONS(PKG, FDR).(MGT). I'm way to honest and fair. If looking for a career: Sign every bid sheet up. Every time. The opportunities for advancement will come. Be prepared to work nights the rest of your career in FDR. Pkg never changes. It is the worst, thankless job at UPS. Long hours and miserable work. Gets old real quick. [/QUOTE]
