My Manger’s Leaving

[MassWineGuy]

My manager, the one I’ve had since I started three years ago, is transferring to the * station. He’s very much a company guy, but he shows respect for us and I like him a lot. Of the three remaining mgrs, one seems fairly despicable. The others I can work with. All of them work days so they’ll be rotating in at night until a new pm mgr comes in.

I’m pretty sure things will be ok, but I’m somewhat anxious.

Yep. I'm always nervous about the new manager.

Precisely.

On the other hand, our station’s performance, a.m and p.m., are among the best in the district. So perhaps if this person’s wise he won’t rock the boat too quickly.

Watch it there, MWG, you're starting to make yourself potentially ID'able. You never know, that one "despicable" manager could be a BC lurker.

I don't even bother to get to know our managers, they come and go so quickly these days...

My manager is leaving at the end of this month. My SM also put in for another position and didn't get it, seems like he's checked out. Who knows what I'll end up with at this point.

There's been some company movement by me also, but the receiving station is getting the better end of the deal and we're losing one hell of a worker.

You'll be missed by us up here dude.

I've seen quite a few new mgrs determined to prove they're going to be the best mgr ever. They can be a real pain until they calm down. But you never know. One of the best mgrs I've ever worked for was 25 and a new father. About as level headed as you'll ever meet.

That’s just how I feel.

Our AM/PM Managers despise one another - AM is Micro Management by the book - PM doesn't give a hoot - overtime isn't an issue - he sits in his office on Facebook / Twitter until sort is done -.LOL

I hear ya. My manager, however limited in smarts; makes up for it with busting his back. Offloads, last minuted deliveries, bulk stops. When he retires I will cringe. The other two managers are terrible. I'm fairly certain one is on the spectrum with autism. (Seriously). The other got a 46 on his SFA.

 

[MassWineGuy]

Obviously, the SFA is vitally important.

First no crib for a bed, now no manger???
What's this world coming to???

Being a socialist at heart, having no manager would be great.

 

[!Retired!]

Just do your job and don't worry so much.

Laissez-faire isn't socialism.
