Wow. Some people should not be management.

I am sitting here working in the waiting room of the car dealership while I wait for them to change my oil and put on winter tires. There a guy sitting across from me on his second phone call about the expenses of one of his employees. Apparently she's been overtipping. She paid $3.00 on a $7.00 breakfast bill. He's asked two different people how to deal with it.

Hey dude. Here's a thought. Instead of whining about it why don't you deal with the issue. Why don't you TELL her your tipping policy and set some expectations and if they're not met then deal with it and if that doesn't work fire her ass.

Now I obviously don't know the whole story but by listening to this guy whine about how they don't listen to him and how nobody knows he's the boss (his words, not mine) I want to stand up and give him a bit of leadership coaching.

Sorry, I'll get off my high horse now.

(Update: now he's whining to whomever about how much travel he has to do. Wow. I'm still on my high horse at this moment but seriously, whay the hell did you take this job??)

First thing: don't whine about being boss where the customers can hear you.

What a whiny ass. I suspect he either has a wife who doesn't talk to him or no wife at all. What a crappy manager! Also, he's not only making those people miserable who he's calling but the people around him who have to overhear the phone calls!

Creep!!
