[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a fed supervisor and it's not so bad. I don't care at all about my employees but I show empathy etc when needed and all I do is make sure the machine runs smoothly with little interruption. I have colleagues putting on weight and developing health issues by nitpicking employee work or going after middling performance causing them to fend off numerous grievances and EEO complaints. The way to get rid of your problem people is to foist them off on the overeager supervisors or send them off to dumping ground agencies like DHS. In sum, take care of yourself and then take care of your employees.[/quote]

Being fed management is not real Management so your experience is not needed[/quote]

NP. I'd state the opposite. Being a private sector manager is easy. Performance problems? Fire them! As a federal manager, you wouldn't believe the documentation that I have to do to place people on PIPs. And then I get EEOS filed against me when I'm going after performance. Tons and tons of rules regarding work hours, forced 30 minute lunch breaks and other things. Being a federal middle manager is the most thankless job. [/quote]
