Sorry, but that is incorrect. You may be going by a title that is not the same as the ops manager in a package district, which is a level above the division managers and below the district manager.
All ops managers are the same pay grade as division managers-that's coming from a guy who just retired from corporate hub and feeder. Until these recent consolidations, the ops manager was responsible for package and hub operations. Maybe there are some grade 19's other than this corp guy still lurking around, but I assure you that ops managers and division managers are the same grade even though one has way more responsibilities than the other. division manager to ops manager is a lateral move that sets you up for the next promotion to district manager. just as a hub manager to OE manager is a lateral move to set someone up for a promotion to division manager. does it make sense? no, and like all else at UPS, why would it make sense? lol. another example of this is that a hub division manager and a region hub coordinator (who has way more responsibility) are still both grade 18 division managers.
