[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2902279, member: 24302"] You told me that the demands put on managers are very reasonable. I'll agree that there are plenty in management who shouldn't be. I've seen too many that are users, abusers, only thinking of themselves and what we can do for them. That's why IMO if you run into one that does seem concerned about his employees, works as hard or harder than everyone else to keep things moving, tries to make a pleasant environment for everyone, you should stick with that one and reward him every SFA. And doing all that is tough given the demands and pressures they're under. I don't expect the workplace to be utopia. But I've seen too many abusive SOB's. And yes I've seen very unreasonable demands put on mgrs by their bosses. A director wanting another district in Florida demanding his mgrs have zero overtime in areas where OT is inevitable. Trying to keep their job caused them to do things that cheated both customers and employees. That was the worst case I dealt with but there are others. [/QUOTE]
