Protecting Yourself From Brown's Numbers Game

The job of a supervisor is to make sure his employees are working safely and efficiently, and to resolve any problems that arise.

Guess what happens when the employees are able to do all of that on their own? All of a sudden, the supervisor becomes irrelevant.

I think that is the main reason why we are getting all of the micromanagement and on-area observations....job security for the management people that perform them.

They are paid to solve problems. So if there arent any problems for them to solve....they will simply make some up.

Invent a problem, invent a "solution" for that problem, then take credit for the "result". Promotion awaits!

Like making sure the driver has his hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel at all times.

We all know the company is bleeding money at the management level but the only thing they can measure is hourly performance. Unless the focus changes to DPOH. Doughnuts Per Office Hour.

Oh ..is that what you call it, having ie change allowances, have people go from getting bonus to being over allowed by 1.5 hours all in one push of a keystroke, but then cant tell you where the hell an hour and a half went. Yep..thats how they measure hourly performance....failure and dishonesty rolled all into one.
