Tit For Tat

[zadojla]

I found myself in a position similar to Zads over a decade ago, promoted to manage 30+ people & then my bosses started telling me to be mean to people & threaten their jobs etc. It wasn't more than a few months before I was in a mental ward, dehydrated, undernourished, & utterly a wreck. I have never recovered.

My situation is not dissimilar. I run a shift with nine people on it. I have had my job threatened if I don't know exactly what everyone is doing, and if they are doing it correctly, in real time. I asked for an explanation how I can possibly do that, which I did not get. It made me laugh, which did not please the boss at all.

I'm not autistic, but as I get more unhappy, I'll just stop performing, and lose my job.

Oddly, my guys respect me and do as I instruct them. I know how to manage teams and get results, but that doesn't seem to be doing me any good.

___In spite of it all, the little gems one does stumble upon, like Hypography here, seem reason enough to suspect more lie ahead. In a Tit For Tat world, I have no reason to believe I'm not getting what I'm due.
