management

I want to know why most folks in management positions think that it's beneath them to do grunt work? How does a person who worked from the ground up only to make it to power positions forget that they once were the person being crapped on? I'm completely bewildered at this mentality. Only 'secretaries' at my work have to clean the break-room. It doesn't matter if it's not there mess, it's still they're responsibility. This makes no sense.

yesterday i was asked to deliver something. i was asked to go to someones office to pick up a paket. i was then told to call a the secretary so she can come down, pick up the packet, make copies and give it back to me to deliver. why? i have the packet. i can make the copies and give them to the secretary…i have no problem with that…then i get to lansing to deliver the stinking packet, pull up to a meter, put a dime in, thinking it would only take a few seconds to run in and hand off the packet…10 minutes later as i walked up to the security person to ask if the division could be called again, i see the stinking parking lady writing me a ticket…when the security person called the division i was waiting for, she was told that he was 'looking for someone to come down and pick it up'. like he was too high and mighty to get off his lazy corporate management rump…when the security guard told him that i had just received a ticket, he showed up 2 minutes later with an excuse of 'i didn't know you were waiting.'

so not only are you a lazy state management employee, but you're going to lie to my face…
and because i was waiting in a state building for your lazy rump to walk downstairs to pick something up, i get a ticket and have to pay another government agency?

i'm hearing Noels last message ringing in my ear….but blasted! let me just complain and recap…i'm so sick of the typical bureaucratic management treatment of subordinates. if you're in a management position, give us someone we can respect and look up to. not a back stabbing sleaze, belittling., lazy snob who pokes our eyes out as you try to grab another rung on the corporate ladder,. get off your rump and be an example.

second, how ironic is it that i get a ticket from the city, while i was applying for a grant with a government agency all because someone was too lazy to get on an elevator and ride the few flights down to pick up a packet?

ok, so i should have put a quarter in, instead of a dime. and yes, i paid the stinking ticket…

please, please, please…treat others, as you'd like to be treated. if you're in management, be a hard working, non-belittling manager. don't look down your nose at those in lower positions and don't feel degraded in working less than stellar jobs. making copies will not make you look less than a manager!
