So today will be day 3 of the new job. It has been a whirlwind of meeting people in the office, going to meetings and trying to get a handle on the team of people that reports to me.
One of the challenges is always trying to get to know the people on your team, especially when they had another manager that didn't really "manage" them properly so they have kind of of a jaded view of that position.
I'm not trying to come in and rock the boat right off the bat, but there are definitely some changes that need to be made.
For example, someone called on Monday to say they had car trouble (didn't call me as they didn't know I had started). They said they would be in later that day....never called back and never showed up.
WTF? First off...who does that? Second...does NO ONE hold them accountable for that? I mean come on...it's not grade school here people......
This should be a challenge that I am looking forward to.
If only the commute would be slightly more pleasant.....
oh yeah..and it's Valentines day....whatever! It is however my parents 49th wedding annivesary..
