Deplorable.
The biggest problem with center manager's (IMO) is that they are either so far removed from driving or only drove for a few months on their way to becoming on-car's.
They are the most out-of-touch of the supervisors that we as drivers deal with on a daily basis IYAM.

If I had to guess on the sudden move, I'd say Orion was his final straw. It seems to be putting more stress on them than the drivers for obvious reasons. Having to generate numbers with a flawed system and having every driver unloading on you about it. That's some stress right there.

What I'm about to say might not surprise very many people.
There are several members of management here who are at high risk for heart attacks and strokes. There's only a few of them who I would actually stop and help if I saw them having one such incident and I was the only one around. It is my very strong opinion that many people in corporate management represent the worst people on the planet and some of them have the same morals and ethics as terrorists and arabic warlords.
The manager who just retired here was evil to the point of making disabled people with heart problems do the hardest jobs in the hub just to make them have heart attacks - to get rid of them. How dare the present doctors' notes demanding a less strenuous position! How dare they! KILL EM! Well as much as I very loudly spoke out against this practice I witnessed one close friend have a heart attack at work, and sure enough another had kidney failure and a heart attack (while I wasn't around) and still a third person on my shift has had a heart attack on the job recently after being targeted by this manager. The utter wrongness of all this compounds on the fact that this manager had a stroke and in my opinion has had several mini strokes on the job. I believe I was talking to this manager on two occasions where their brain just seemed to stop and they forgot where they were, freezing in place as though experiencing a great cramp, and moments later when the manager came to, they began the cussing and yelling and so forth.
To emphasize my point. Managers in the corporate ladder are some of the worst people I have ever met. And I've met felons, murderers, and wealthy preachers.

I don't know who would ever want the job. Aside from the supposed 6 figure salary. The amount of crap that comes down the pipeline that they deal with...
As much as drivers deal with numbers, center manager's live and die by them. If the numbers aren't there, they get hung.

Jesus loves us all. We should all try to help someone if they are hurt. Being the better person isn't always the fun thing to do but it's the right thing. Don't lower yourself because other people suck.

And just remember, Hub or Center manager is an entry management level position. Rarely are they promoted any higher.

12 years ago we had a center manager say that it was the best job at UPS. Now they are just worried about numbers that are unattainable.

There is no job at UPS that is half as good as it was 12 years ago.
Our most recent DM, and our current were both center manager's rather recently.
Just saying.
Most center manager's, however aren't any kind of "manager" they are merely puppets who force what they're told from above onto all of the peons below, no matter the repercussions.
I'll make a six figure salary once I'm in feeders, I don't need any stress. I mean hell, how hard can it be driving around those big hogs.

How many center manager's does a DM have responsibility for?
It depends on the division.
