Hay I'm getting your messages by the way half my dang txt messages don't want to send for some reason!

Haha, my Boss got “audited” by his Boss which in my company is a Director. My boss called a started the conversation off by saying, you’re not in any trouble, but we need to talk. He proceeded to tell me they went through all his employees and he has a list of things to cover with all of them and I was the only one that stood out.

My “stand out”? Quote “too perfect”!!! My numbers are too good, my exception time was too low (yeah exception time isn’t a good thing), and my customers had nothing bad to say about me. So basically instead of focusing on everyone else improving, I need to drop to their level.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m very outspoken and don’t mind speaking my mind to anyone no matter what their title is and I screw off like a pro. I just get the work done, then play. I’m the only Tech for 14 counties so if course I know all my regular customers and have a good relationship with them. I get all my yearly training done by mid February, I hate things hanging over me. I’m definitely not the smartest tech out there, but when I come across something new I take notes for the next time.

So yeah, start screwing off more, tick off some customers, and miss my training on some months and I’ll be good to go…

Hey Dog,

Are all the boats company owned or are some private owned and leased on to the company?

My advice would be to meet with the main captain and explain that the other captain has different expectations. Ask him how you should handle it. Seems to me there should be some standard work requirements posted so that both captains and deck hands follow the same program. You cannot be expected to work with two different captains doing things different ways. That is to much to ask of employees.

Already have ... multiple times , almost always has end with , either : ok I'll talk to him , or just do what he wants and if it's not right it's gonna be on him

All company owned though we charter some form smaller companies

That new rule indicates a lack of management involvement at the floor level. I'm not talking about micromanagement but setting clear expectations and then following up to see that those expectations are being met on the floor. Instead, your chief in charge is making rules to cover his butt at the cost of efficiency.

Part of working with other. Learn to not take it personal (especially if its just temporary)or if it gets bad enough find another job. Ive never regretted changing jobs
