1938 Packard Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 No, not the singer. The new supervisor on my job. He just went through orientation, the complex tour and all that hoody hoo yesterday and then they dropped him in my department. First impression? The smile is real and unrehearsed. I can't judge his insight yet as far whether he would give coherent and feasible orders. He smokes. That's worth a score aleady. He gets along well with Rachel, the other supervisor. Another score. I guess he's going to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably won't matter to him, but it sure does matter to me. If he turns out to be some half assed shitbag who gives incoherent or impractical orders, he could toss the whole department into disarray. It's happened before.

No score for you. 😉 It doesn't work that way. We have so many people in this department that there has to be at least one supervisor directing the action. More like a traffic cop. When you see a traffic cop, is he supervising you per se? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengu Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 No, because the traffic cop has a patrol sergeant that supervises him. So it does in fact work that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The department head answers to the directors and the directors answer to the vice presidents. It goes all the way to the CEO. So, nobody on this property really works unsupervised, according to your logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengu Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 No, you spent the better part of your life in a position you’ve needed supervision to do. Not that you are the supervisor, you NEED the supervision. Your examples still suck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto for department heads and directors. I've seen quite a few of them fuck up and get fired. I've been offered the supervisor's job and turned it down. No way I'm switching to a sixty hour week.
