| 888881 | 2010-05-28 11:29:00 | My advice help the guy out. Wrong. You don't help out but you don't hinder either. 1) You are not payed to do his job. 2) By helping him out you hide from management that he is not capable of doing the job so you don't really help the firm. |

| 888882 | 2010-05-28 11:35:00 | Would you also do that to someone employed at a lower or similar level? Or would you show them the ropes and give em some support until they were up to speed? And I hate to break it to the haters, Management always look at a bigger picture, and can see limitations and abilities that are pretty much blind to the people on the shop floor, Its usual for all employees to have a bedding in process, if someone decides to make that difficult it will be noted, as well as the capabilities and performance of the new employee. |

| 888883 | 2010-05-28 11:37:00 | Yep, when I worked as a supervisor everyone under me was much much better at my job then me.:rolleyes: I even had to fire a couple of the idiots for their crap attempts at their positions. In fact,everywhere I have worked the workers knew far more then the management.:lol: While you may have been very good at your job there is always someone ready to take your place. In my case I was good at my job and that is why so many customers chose to come to me. After telling the hardware manager that a product was running out so he could order and keep a continuous supply going only to find he wasn't ordering the product and then having to tell the customer they would have to get it elsewhere pissed me off no end especially when the customer chose to blow off steam at me. |

| 888884 | 2010-05-28 11:38:00 | It could be worse Gary67. Ladies of the night work under idiots on a regular basis but they don't seem to complain. Possibly they are paid more than you are? More seriously I know what you mean! |

No one under me was ever capable of taking my place,or even working without my supervision on the more dangerous tasks, or aware of the bigger picture. |

While you are helping someone else to do their job you aren't doing your own so you make them look better to the detriment of yourself unless time allows without affecting you. This isn't a straight hate management thing but there are some in positions they shouldn't be in and sometimes those on the shop floor have a better understanding of processes. Quote from #1"He is meant to do a stock control every week and yet we run out of materials every week because nothing gets ordered unless we ask for it to be ordered." He is not capable if he is failing to keep supplies as needed and that creates a very inefficient production line when you have half finished jobs all over the place. |

| 888888 | 2010-05-28 11:53:00 | Strangely - Metla and Prefect provide best advice on this one. As a Manager if I see the former colleagues of a new manager playing silly games, they're the ones who'd cop it. If you don't like where you are now - find somewhere you do like. Otherwise help all people as much as you can and your time will surely come. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
