[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 784062, member: 869"] Dear Whomever Cares, Micromanagement is damaging to business. Do your own job, let me do the job you have successfully trained me to do. If you're over-involved in my day-to-day activities you will be less effective at yours. Not to mention the added insult of suggesting that I'm too stupid or lazy to do my job. Some folks are! BUT MOST OF US ARE NOT. If something is wrong, fix it. Clean house if you need to. I know where my allegiance is. I give UPS more concessions because of the dire importance of safety, our level of visibility, and the fact that we are responsible for other people's property and profits. Close supervision is necessary. Where safety is concerned there may not be more than one right way to do things. But all employees as well as customers are individuals and should be respected as such. For better and worse (for numerous reasons), the "good ole days" are over. All of the math is extremely useful, and we need folks who are paid to crunch numbers. But integrity and teamwork must not be sacrificed. When you practice at the extreme end of things you will always eventually hit a wall, AFTER you've lost the ability to learn anything new. When you over overmanage a group that considers themselves part of a team you are no longer part of the team. You cannot turn me against my brother or sister in brown. You are the dictator(s) using force, manipulation and threats to accomplish your goal, whatever that may be. From here it looks like you want to lift yourself up, put us (those that are working as a team) down, line your pockets with our incentives, and impede our ability to safely and efficiently reach our goals: Safety, service, and growing the company. Call me sappy, but can't you be a Big brother/sister in brown? You would regain my respect, anyway. 75% of reengineering projects fail. This will never make it, and the way things are being run Brown may very well go down with it. xoxoxo, Betty Brown [/QUOTE]
