Elsewhere,
Back in 1988 I left my private engineering company and made a deal to run production operations at a packaging company in San Bernadino, Ca.. The first question I asked my employees was "How can I help you do your job?" The answer was 80% "They are hiring people with no experience and paying them more money than me and I have to train them." I instructed the people I was over, as long as I was over this department this would never happen as long as I was here. Guess what, the Vice-President of the company hired an inexperienced pimple faced kid for a buck more on the hour than the people I was over. It happened on a Friday, I was back at my home in North Carolina on Monday. I resigned. Many supervisors continue on and support Bull-Hockey policies that are implimented by Cluster-**ck managers and owners. You gotta cut through it if you can. I for one could not.
