At the rate we are losing management in the operation I'm not sure they need an ERO -- the irony is that when the economy picks up and there are jobs in the market to be had, there will be a mass exodus from my district - seroiusly an informal poll of management and sups has about 56% either currently looking, or roughing out the economic storm in hopes of opportunities outside of UPS on the Horizon...Personally, I think I got another 2 years in me given/ the current pressure/ expectation/ lack of resources/ 14 hour day / finger in the dike environment....If things don't change I will cash in my 15 years and be a 36 year old starting a new career.
I wish you the best. I always felt bad for the guys in your shoes. You have a lot of time and money invested, but the light at the end of the tunnel is too far away to stay with UPS and suffer through the 14-hour days. I quit so I wouldn't find myself in your shoes in five more years. It was one of the best decisions of my life. It was much harder to find another (high-paying) job than I had anticipated. UPS management skills are not as portable as you would hope. Make sure you have quite a bit of ready cash saved up before you leave. Working 14-hour days makes it hard to look for a different job while employed, so you may have to quit in order to find something else.
In my area, a lot of ex-UPS management would end up in retail managment (Home Depot, Target). They said it paid well, but you have a lot of the same drawbacks as UPS: demanding work schedule, excessive management hierarchy above you, limited freedom to manage your own success. With the economy lately, I doubt Home Depot and Lowe's are expanding as much as they used to be.
I've heard good things about Netflix and Amazon. Your UPS operations skills are transferrable to these companies. Check to see if either of them have a distribution center in your area.
Best of luck.
whats that you're unhappy with my performance , gee I think i sense some discriminatory actions here.
