[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3609420, member: 63706"] Sticking with UPS until retirement is a good plan b for me. My issue is that I know that I am capable of more than delivering packages. I don't feel that I am too good for it, I've taken janitorial jobs when necessary, but I have more to offer the world than either job allows. I have worked in management but none of the companies I've worked for promote based on merit, and I'm not very good at kissing up to bosses, especially ones who aren't competent. I had the idea that if I could work my way up in a company, I could change things for the better. Experience has taught me that this is a contradiction. If you don't demonstrate that you are sold out to the company, you have little chance of making it beyond a low level of management, regardless of how well you perform. There is always someone above you to take credit for your work. Since changing things from the inside isn't going to happen, my best bet is to start something of my own and run it as I see fit. That's just me though. I know some people have issues with the work/life balance that cause them to want to look elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
