[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1145157, member: 45493"] This guy has "Old school" written all over him. This is not going to go anywhere. This is not unique or special behavior. This is old school mentalities clashing with new age thin-skinned individuals who don't like to be told what to do. I'm not saying I agree with that style, or even if that style is the best way to do it (it's not)....but this isn't something that is earth-shattering. This old geezer is probably more slick than people give credit, and isn't doing anything that would ultimately get him in trouble. I could tell the same part time supervisor to do the same menial task every single day for no other good reason other than 'because I instructed you to'. Now, that's not going to win me any fans, but it sure as hell isn't breaking any rules. This part time sup will not like it....claim harassment....what me to burn at the stake...but like beentheredonethat had said, if it's not unsafe or against policy or immoral....then it better be done as instructed. That's kind of the whole point of a hierarchy. Again, I agree this manager doesn't seem like a peach to work for, but I'm thinking the people affected by him should probably learn to live with it, or at the very least, wait it out as they are close to retirement. Not the most sugar-coated answer, but quite realistic... [/QUOTE]
