[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long have you been a manager OP?  I am asking to determine if higher level management promoted you to have you take the fall for firing the poor performer.

They transferred this individual to me 8 months after becoming a first time supervisor.[/quote]

Why in the world did you take promotion? There is no upside in Fed service. That’s why we have to hire outside agency for all management [/quote]

At my agency, they promote brown nosers without technical skills to managers. People take it because they are desperate to make 15 after decades of being stuck on the 14 scale. These are the people who don't have the education and skills to become technical experts. It's a terrible position, because both the office directors and the staff despise them. [/quote]

True, but then the outsiders often don’t understand government work or don’t respect their Staff. Federal management is often terrible.

The best manager I ever had was disliked by his management. He cared too much and was too effective I guess without playing all the games they wanted.

Same, I wonder if we had the same manager. He protected the staff and was not a yes man to the upper management, so he got demoted. [/quote]
