MergerCasualty don't take the snub on the availability of Level 2 personally. I too dwell in the mail room, however I accept my limitations, and will work harder to achieve the things I so covet. Since you admittedly have been a casualty of a past merger, you should be more than willing to work yourself back up the corporate ladder.
No breaks for us mail room toiler's, nor do I want one. It's like most things in life, if you work hard to attain those things that are important to you, you can and will achieve them. Just imagine how good you will feel, once you have that brass rihng in your pocket !!! LOL
