[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]State Department here. I’m a non-supervisory 14 and generally like the work because I have a lot of freedom and independence without the micromanaging. That will soon change because the chief is retiring. Management has been mentioning my name and I generally seem to want the supervisory 15 gig. Seems like a lot of front line managers regret signing on for their gigs. What am I missing? What sort of daily bullshit do frontline supervisors deal with?

All sorts of things. It's like being a father/mother to 10 misbehaving kids except 1) they are not kids; 2) they don't do or listen to you; 3) you can't get rid of (or replace) them; and 4) your boss STILL expects you to get the job done (and more)... You are f-ed no matter what[/quote]

Honestly it feels no different underneath though either. My coworkers won’t work, I’m stuck with all the work and there are no rewards for good work. I think usajobs has messed everything up. It didn’t used to be this way[/quote]
