[quote=Anonymous]What you find is as a supervisor is that it’s usually 10 percent of your employees take 80+ percent of your time. I had been a supervisor years ago of two high functioning teams. I didn’t think it was that difficult. Then I went off for a few years and returned to substantive work. After that, I was offered a job as a second level supervisor, and those teams were not as functional. It was awful. It was like being a kindergarten teacher to a bunch of obstinate toddlers who,could follow not directions and took every breath by a colleague as a slight. This was combined with a boss who insisted on the entire “leadership team”sit in on every meeting, whether it was relevant to your division or not, as well as the weekly status briefings which required everyone to create convoluted status powerpoints that we then had to sit there and listen to for an entire afternoon. I once had the audacity to say “you know, we might get to push these markers forward more quickly if we didn’t have to take people offline one day a week to make these status reports....”.   When I was offered a non-sup 15, I jumped at it and never looked back.[/quote]
