[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 4494706, member: 23516"] If someone wants a regular conversation, they get a regular conversation. If someone wants an argument, they get an argument. I aim to please. Barring a monumentally disastrous act or decision, a courier in that position has nothing to worry about. They won't be punished for failing in a situation that they don't have any kind of training or experience in handling. The best manager (and his senior) I had nitpicked everything I did, good or bad. Part of it was that he wanted people to know that he notices their work. The other part was that he liked to know how people make decisions. Some bad decisions are just bad/dumb/whatever. Some are bad, but were the best that could be expected given someone's inexperience, lack of available information, and so forth. It could be aggravating but it was done to help prep me for my first ops manager job. Can't remember if I ever got any BZs for subbing for an absent manager. Didn't expect any. Was told that since I had interest in management that I should give it a shot. To me, it was a little bit of experience that I probably wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. To someone else, it's just something extra that he has to do. What someone expects to get from doing so probably has a lot to do with shaping their opinion of it. [/QUOTE]
