So far I have been honest and true in my management position. luckily I'm still p/t!! I have also noticed that there seems to be this wall with non management and management ups employees. I find that sad. obviously, i have to watch my back and do as im told b/c once im fired im gone.... unless i feel, i was fired wrongly and I will fight to the death.(without union help) Fortunately, I have great upper mgnt personnel who remember being that p/t unloider/loader(so do I) and they look out for the employees. In the end, it seems that your out for yourself. Thats why im trying to go back into an "hourly" position. Time for a career change! I am currently trying to find out info on how i can become a feeder driver. any info you may have, great!
To answer the original question, any degree will do. Just start making friends. Its who you know, now days. The degree of networking.
I actually recently failed the panel(interview) to be put into the pool for a job for friend/t management... I knew none of the managers conducting this interview (theirs 3) and none of them understood my job. I think its a stupid way to grade someone to see if they are fit for the job in the first place. They give you scenario questions and ask how you would handle the situation. They failed me b/c I did not ask for help, was not detailed enough(exactly what i will do) and did not prioritize well. That told me they were not looking for a leader but an order taker. I have seen incompetent p/t sups pass and get promoted... I am sure you guys ask youself... why is he/she in management.
