We are only a couple of weeks away from April now. We know raises are coming back for 2010 already. Anyone care to speculate on if title changes (promotions) will return for I.S.'ers?
No, there are no in place 'promotions'. If you want to change job titles, you'll need to apply for and get a new job within UPS. The idea is that departments are correctly staffed as they are. If you create new titles/levels within the department you are basically going to unbalance them.
I meant more "Intermediate BA" to "Senior BA", or "Programmer" to "Senior Programmer", or "Intermediate DBA" to "Senior DBA". If UPS requires job changes for that, they will be lacking many individuals in the coming years as these are normal raises.

I certainly hope they do. I would like to think that knowledgeable and hard-working individuals that truly are performing at the next level or beyond will get compensated. I understand that the 1 to 2 unit jump is virtually non-existent now. However, I cannot believe that 1 unit promotions will be done away with (i.e. programmer to senior programmer). If that's the case, how does the company develop the next wave of management? So far in my UPS career, I have heard a lot of skepticism. I have always ignored it. Only time will tell. If there are no 1-unit promotions at all this year, that is a very bad sign.
Well I guess we'll know soon. I am not too concerned though. If they decide that management development is not a priority, I will find a place elsewhere. I am confident in my abilities. I am not the type to "Be one with it".
That is exactly the idea. You will be helping fulfill the CEO's promise of a leaner UPS.

The promotions you are referring to are called in-band promotions. We've been told that there are no in-band promotions this year. Sorry.
