Answer to your question: Pre-Management Assessment Program. Four exams
to be taken within a certain number of days. Pass all four tests and you
may apply for a Management position (trashman, scientist, engineer, HR
type, whatever......all management positions). Don't pass the tests and
it means you can continue to work without being a manager. PMAP came
about after Boeing lost big court case over not promoting people who
thought they deserved the promotions. Boeing is not the only company
using the assessment program. I was an assessor until contractors were
cut from the program. I decided to move to the beach and take pictures of
the Blue Angels. It was fun but very hard work, Tom


Ah, Yes I have heard of that, but didn't recognize the acronym... mostly
because I really have not paid much attention to the steps to a managment
position. As of right now, I really don't see myself heading towards any
managerial role, but I do think about becoming a lead engineer some day.
