Anyone Else Have a Micro Managing SM?

OMFG! Our SM needs to get a life. They routinely message me asking my eta back to the building. And they’re messaging me from home where they’re monitoring all the routes. As offensive as this is, it would be a bit easier to swallow if this SM had any experience whatsoever driving a route. But they don’t, so they typically have no clue about the timing involved.

My manager isn’t bothered and tells me I’m doing good job.

If its who I think it is, very lucky they weren't canned many years ago when an Ops manager.

He's asks for an ETA, you reply with your ETA. Of all the possible things to make a big deal about, this is way down the list.

Correct reply: about 4 hours after station managers have left....

Of course I replied with an ETA. And it turned out to be accurate. But this person knew nothing of the traffic conditions or time needed for the remaining stops, and told me I should have a much shorter ETA.

You care too much. They prey on suckers like you

 

[MassWineGuy]

No doubt.

Does anyone care anymore?

 

[MassWineGuy]

I hardly do. You all have permission not to care.
