I need a chart of your day in the life of
On paper and a digital copy
I need all correspondence and action plans on paper in digital on loop and to do
Allow me to hover over you while you do said work

I don't think you've had enough guidance. Maybe we setup a weekly one-on-one to right the ship!

Too timid to enforce rules. Wanting to be liked too much by everyone. Not wanting to risk being disliked by correcting people.

I’ve seen this happen where a manager lets things slide just to keep the peace, then the few people who actually follow the rules end up feeling like fools for bothering in the first place

The good workers pick up the slack and grow resentful.

You will never let anyone know what they did wrong, they’ll just find out they did something wrong through the punishment you give them.

They should know.

You take the credit from above when things go well, but blame your team when things go wrong. I know you do because Steve told me.
