[QUOTE="bad company, post: 713927, member: 9308"] I've worked for and with (when I was pt mgmt) some really great ones. Unfortunately, shortly after I became a driver, there seemed to be an influx of piss poor ones coming through the pipelines. I don't judge them on a personal basis... to quote a former center manager for the other center in my hub, " I'm not here to be your ****ing buddy". However, I do judge them on their ability to be leader and to do their job efficiently. I judge them on their ability to make a decision (which my current one hates doing) during a critical moment in the operation without haste or panic. I compare them to the good ones that I've had to privilege to work with. I get extremely frustrated when the same mistakes and excuses are repeated constantly, and there appears to be little or zero accountability for their actions. I get upset when I get accused of doing something before they do their research and find out that I wasn't even working that day. I get even more upset when this happens on a somewhat regular basis. I get irate when I am told by my center manager to have patience with an on-road supervisor (16 years at UPS) because he is new to the position and doesn't know a lot of things that I (5 years at UPS) know. I get peeved when I learn that my current center manager only has his job because he threw a major temper tantrum earlier in his career, barricaded himself in his office to prevent being walked out, and called the NAACP to his defense. I don't love or hate my center manager. But I sure as hell do expect them to do their job or get replaced by someone who can. [/QUOTE]
