I don't care whatever it takes, as long as it'll produce decent managers.
I've come across one in the last 5 years....
Today I had to remind my manager (well, the guy that collects my timekeeping
sheets anyway, are managers supposed to do more?) that my contract is up for
renewal in less than a month. He seemed genuinely surprised by this news,
but at least agreed to have a meeting next week to discuss wether or not to
continue my employment with the firm....
My previous manager didn't give a damn about her team, all she wanted was to
lick herself up to private office, company car and share options level. At
least she managed that.... before being axed in the first round of lay-offs
(something's gone wrong with the PC industry you know...)
Sorry about this ranting. I'm just so annoyed with this guy....
I guess what I'm saying is that if he's gonna do a decent job after playing
with Lego for an afternoon with some other managers, I'd be happy to buy him
a set or two...
