[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t like prodding into their lives, the uncomfortableness when someone has to ask if they can log off early to tend to a sick child (I have never ever said no) and upper management hounding me about butts in chairs I don’t want to play the game. If my folks get their work done on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean, I could not care less. I approve all training requests, all pto, all ‘hey I’ll be late’ Texts. I genuinely don’t want to be a manager but it seems as I move up I’ll jus Thrace to ‘play the game’ more.[/quote] Managing staff is a skill, managing up is also a skill. Sounds like you need to learn how to get your boss+ to focus on results rather than how the sausage is made. Unless you're a Fed. Poking into the sausage making is part of a senior managers job else the OIG comes-a-calling.[/quote]
