I just want to make friends!
Like it or hate it. The blame game has been part of Express culture since the beginning. It gets its roots in the airline industry. Its just that a lot of other things used to come with it like performance coaching, values, a concept of employee fairness, and a strict set of rules.
Your Ops Manager is doing your Senior Manager's job, taking heat for employees poor performance
Hmm. Who should take the heat for your employee's performance?
or a bad engineering plan, being blamed for everything under the sun and doing MT3's 2 checkrides a week.
There isn't a lot of time for old school coaching any more. Its easier to just issue some OLCCs and put them on your bosses desk. A lot of Ops Manager's shield their employees from a lot
Some Ops Managers have it good, but most don't. I'm not complaining. We chose to be in management in hopes that someday we would be the ones shoving our work down and sometimes we even say to ourselves when we make Senior we won't treat our Ops Manager's like that but the truth of the matter is its a machine that has been cranking out the same product since the 90s with more and more gears missing.
I know. Cry me a river. I got out of the insanity of it even though I loved it but hopefully this will give you another perspective.
We get it, nothing was your fault. You washed out.
