[QUOTE="LPGuy, post: 235181, member: 11213"] There are exceptions to every rule. Typically, however, UPS (like so many organizations) are on this PC kick about being able to report that it is "diverse" and loves to advance the careers of females. Check UPSERS.com and you will see all of the programs that are in place to make certain that women have an advantage. Don't get me wrong, what I think is important to UPS is that it "appears" that they are doing every thing under the sun for women's advancement. More so than with males, we see females being placed in jobs that they are not ready for. The way I see it, this practice is bad for the company and the inexperienced female manager. I am sure that each one of you know of a strong supervisor who has been around for years and brings good management skills and knowledge to the table. You have probably also wondered why this person has never progressed to a manager or higher. They exist in all of the districts. If you knew the truth, you would find out that many of these people have had the proverbial carrot placed in front of them on different occasions and decided, years before, to make a career out of UPS. At some point these men accept that they are not going to be promoted regardless of the lies that are told to them. The problem for that individual leaving the company is that during those years that he believed that his hard work and dedication would help him to get promoted, his personal lives became filled with obligations, wife, children, house, etc. Now that supervisor looks at the last 25 years of his life with regret but believes that he could not now take the financial consequences of leaving the job.
