[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 5724375, member: 23516"] Managers who tell you they stepped down because of having a conscience and all that jazz are bullish***ing you. If you want to be a successful manager, the easiest way to do that is to have your employees have a decent safety record, hit service goals, and show year over year growth in SPH and P/FTE. Maybe a couple of other measures depending on the location. It makes your senior look good and performance is really all anyone cares about. You don't have to lie to your employees to achieve that. You control the controllables and deal with the non-controllables (bad weather, late flight, whatever) as they arise. There are other things that you have to deal with from time to time (peak planning, special events) and you have to work with other teams (engineering, safety, ramp) but that comes with any leadership or management position. It's not for everyone. Far too many people go into management thinking that all they have to do is make sure the shift is properly staffed and that's all there is to it. People will tell you they quit over conscience issues when they don't want to admit that they couldn't handle the job. [/QUOTE]
