[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4208700, member: 24302"] It's hard to feel sorry for managers. The hours they put in? That's paying their dues. Managers who start in their 20's and 30's know that if they play the game well they'll move up the corporate ladder and retire wealthy by their 50's and 60's. Especially if they make director which is corporate officer level and eligible for stock options. It's why when a director visits you see many managers doing some major sucking up. And when managers start talking about how hard they have it or how they're on your side against the company? Some may be sincere, but I believe most just want better SFA scores so they play on your sympathy. Expect your average ops mgr to size you up, believe he's superior to you, and is figuring out how to use you for his benefit. The only ways to get along with way too many ops mgrs is either be in the clique of cool kids he surrounds himself with, or do your job well enough that he depends on you for numbers and to help him out with volunteering for extra.
