Dang Stick, can't slip anything past you!Is it just me, or are a lot of the weekly comics portraying management/owners in a bad light?
You could probably substitute a lot of other businesses in place of "print shop", agreed? How about "baseball team" as a quick example? The divide between owners/managers and employees will in my opinion almost always be there. As an owner, I make an effort to treat my employees as well as I can, and ask them for feedback. Unless they're keeping silent, my staff is pretty happy here.It's probably because an inordinate number of people think it would be fun to own a print shop without having a clue about anything that goes on in such a business. Or a manager is hired because of a college degree, again, with no clue about printing. Guess how much fun the employees are having with this.
I generally found that those who grumbled & whined the loudest among their fellow staff members typically were dead silent during staff meetings with owners/management. I'll spare you what I think of people like that.Unless they're keeping silent
Customers/Clients are also high on the list in many of these threads.So, carry on with the management bashing, and high five each other afterwards.
That's because over the years you have spoken up at meetings and had your input ignored over and over by so called owners/management.I generally found that those who grumbled & whined the loudest among their fellow staff members typically were dead silent during staff meetings with owners/management.

Sometimes the case to be sure. But if one has something to say it should be directed to those responsible, especially when that input has been requested. Whether suggestions are followed through with or not is not the point and ultimately not your problem. The point is to put your position out there and be understood. Also be prepared with a reasonable & workable alternative to whatever you want to see changed. Otherwise it just makes you a spineless hypocrite who badmouths behind people's back.That's because over the years you have spoken up at meetings and had your input ignored over and over by so called owners/management.
Not initially, but if you stay in that role long enough, for one reason or another, the odds of you becoming a leader increase.Being an owner or management does NOT automatically make you a Leader.
