[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 4877641, member: 37112"] There appears to be a disappointing episode in your past to come to such a jaded view of the position. While witnessing (and taking notes) is an important function of stewardship, it hardly describes a "good" steward. As a steward, I once "witnessed" a hearing where a driver pulled a trl off a door that a sup re-entered [B]after[/B] the driver shut the door. The driver got so worked up that he completed lost it and went off on the sup with language that would make a sailor blush. So the butt hurt sup runs to the driver's manager to tattle. This new manager, ignoring the reckless behavior of the sup, decides the language the driver used was too much and informs the driver he's fired immediately. I asked the manager for a private word, where I agreed completed that no one should berate other employees like that. I then reminded the manager of an incident weeks earlier where this manager called me an "a#$hole" as he walked through the lunchroom, trying to be "one of the guys". I told the manager a little white lie that I had signed witness statements from others in the room who heard the exchange, that I'd be bringing along to our guys termination grievance. The manager looked like he saw a ghost, and promptly reconvened the mtg where our guy was calmly told not to talk like that anymore and get back to work. Sometimes special education is innate.
