[QUOTE="soberups, post: 768422, member: 14668"] It is fortunate that your seniority and experience will allow you to make [I]reasonable accomodations and adjustments[/I] to the metrics that are being demanded from Atlanta without having to fear for your job. Most of your partners in operations-level managment are [I]not[/I] so fortunate. For them, the metric is inflexible and no allowance is made for common sense or logic. Generate the metric, and they survive for one more day. Fail to generate the metric, and they are fired. You speak of management that is "unskilled, untrained, or ineffective". Well, I am going to give your partners in management a little more credit than you do. Virtually every management person [B]I[/B] have ever worked for in my 23 years has, in my opinion, been a [B]skilled[/B] and [B]effective[/B] individual. Their issues, almost without exception, have had [B]nothing[/B] to do with any lack of skill or training. Their issues, almost without exception, have had [B]everything[/B] to do with being deprived of the [I]resources, authority, and job security[/I] to manage their operations effectively. They are micromanaged and set up to fail by a corporate culture that buries them in an ocean of conflicting metrics and impossible expectations. They cant manage the business because they arent even allowed to make a decison. If Atlanta would just shut up and get the hell out of the way, we would be unstoppable. We have some good management people working for us. All we need to do is let them manage. [/QUOTE]
