[QUOTE="KidUPS, post: 522492, member: 18294"] I have come to learn over my course of supervising full time employees who have been so much (sometimes) effort and sweat into the company that seniority is everything to them. Literally everything to them. Something they hold very sacred. And I could understand why the employee was not happy when I sent him to do his job in a different location in the building. He saw employees with less seniority able to stay put in the operation while he had to go and do something he felt a part timer should be doing. I have always tried to be respectful towards higher seniority employees. They tend to always be the most consistent anyways and willing to step up when you call on them (in my experience). I think after talking to the employee, and explaining to him that the reason I called on him was because I trusted his experience and work ethic. I explained to the employee I felt I could delegate him some work in a different part of the building and not have to stand there and overlook his work. Things have been squashed but I believe a lot of this came to because both of us were unwilling to put pride aside. Lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
