LMFAO! You're right. No real change.
Yes, I'm the boss, but I still have a boss. Just not anywhere close to me. He's at least an hour and 45 min away. Some day's I'm pretty "insufferable" towards him. When he pisses me off, I just ignore his calls and emails. After 3 days or so I ask him if he's ready to let me run my shop my way. So far, it works. We get along better all the time. He is figuring out he can't micro-manage me. I could care if I get fired, I'm not scared of being self-employed or finding another job. Not that I want to be fired.... I'm just not scared. I've made a lot of improvements at my locations, and think I'm pretty valuable. Besides, it's a big company and you have to screw up pretty bad to get fired. From what I've seen about the only way you can is by tearing up equipment and trying to hide it. Just not doing your job, or being really bad at it isn't enough. Also, just my boss wanting me gone isn't enough. HR, his boss and maybe even his boss would have to be on board. That's unlikely. I have a pretty good rapport with them. I just wish I could get some better techs. I've got a couple that just make my head hurt most days. In business, your only as good a manager as the people under you. The two in question don't make me look good. I hired one, I inherited the other. My mistake on the one I hired. He looked really good on paper and interviewed well. But..... like so many in this "younger" generation, he was full of himself, with a bigger mouth than talent. If he was half as good as he claimed to be, it wouldn't be so bad. He's highly trained. Just proves, a piece of paper means nothing. I hate ASE certs. Worthless.
Sorry..... That's a little off topic. :OffTopic:
I didn't win either. Didn't match even one number. That's about normal. :BlahBlah: I'm too mean to be lucky, LOL.
