[QUOTE="mafols, post: 748169, member: 26583"] I visit the DRN forums almost daily,and although I post very seldom, I do spent alot of time reading what others are talking about. This time I'd just like to solicit a little opinion on something that is chapping my a## worse than riding a Harescramble with designer underwear. I have worked for this large corp. for the last 12 years and have always been satisfied with quietly doing my job the best that I could, doing it right the first time, and modestly saying thanks to anyone who might happen to notice. I am a "blue collar" worker and have always prefered working with my hands over being cooped up in a cube.For some reason the company I work for seems to find it neccessary to rotate Supervision on an anual basis and of course...with guys fresh out of college. My current Sup. has thus far demonstrate his natural ability to be a prick and would have certainly made a promising young tyrant some 200 years ago. :worship: He is 17 years younger than me which means I was doing this job when he was entering college to learn how to one day be a boss over some lowly subordinate, such as myself. I used to try to imagine "where do they get these guys" but I've come to realize that they are being groomed to fill such an honorable calling. Work experience is being replaced by Management 101 and common sense has taken a back seat to " well... the policy says". The other day a co-worker recounted a conversation between him and our Sup. on what does it mean to give 110%. The co-worker when offering his definition,used the following example: doing a job in 2 hours that usually takes others 4 without sacrificing quality,safety,etc. To which my boss replied..."Well, that would be good,but my idea of 110% are those that, upon completion of a job...send me a personal e:mail explaining what they did and how it has improved our manufacturing process and offers ideas on how to make things better"( this...in addition to our normal means of passing on information to "EVERYBODY" invoved in the job). Is it just me...or is this guy promoting an enviroment of "rear smooching" and -30 INWC ( no...I don't work for HOOVER). Please believe me...I've always been willing to earn any respect afforded to me and have never had a problem with insubordination even with those that didn't deserve it. What ever happened to good old fashion work and the pride and self-satisfaction that goes to those who aren't ashammed to do their job just because of who they are. In todays corporate world it seems that up and comers are trained to accept and promote the idea that "this is what it takes to compete in todays market" and that those at their disposal will some glorious day be replaced by robots that won't bog the process down with " human attributes". :moon: [/QUOTE]
