That is different than receiving training in good management practices. I think the customers make all the difference, honestly. And when is it ever effective?
I had my annual performance review a few days before I left for medical leave recently. 1- They become assholes because the boss they admired – Maybe I agree but I believe she is an asshole herself. My only experience with managing was running the day shift at a restaurant I worked at while my boss was on vacation.
Which happen to be based around the book I co-authored, so I have reason to be biased, but they’re really great.). "But a lot of retail associates are going to school, for example. I want to pretend you are one of my old bosses. Confession: I used to be a bad manager. I love the USA and I know how many people with families are being humiliated at their jobs by assholes. The first time my ex-boss talked about “increased responsibility” I pretty much told him “I don’t want to manage!”. Count yourself lucky. I was petty, I played favorites, I actively worked to undermine at least one of my reports, and just was an all around terrible person. I think that at many places, “training a manager” means teaching the person how to do the time cards, how to enforce dress code, etc. Seven common reasons why many of them fail to plan are the following: • Some managers dislike constraints of any kind. Who really likes forced sharing with the objective of team building? I mean come on if it’s that much of a rush get off your bloody phone, pick up an end or grab 2 bars yourself and work in the trenches with your guys; your not being paid to stand around on the phone and smoke cigarettes while the guys are breaking their backs carrying loads around 100 lbs for hours getting interrupted periodically by your yelling at them.
