Got a new store manager a year ago and basically had an entire upper management turnover. We've gone from consistently being #1 in sales in the district to somewhere in the mid-20s every week. Not a single one of them know what the  they're doing. The store manager only cares about the appearances of the store. The merchandising manager wanders around with his thumb up his ass all day, every day when his head isn't up the store manager's ass. Our "inventory specialist" has no clue how to do his job and spends most of his time in the deli. Meanwhile, us in the stock crew are made the scapegoats for everything that doesn't get done in the store, yet also get bitched at if we get overtime trying to do all the crap nobody else does. |

I had a very clever and understanding boss in my last work. Now I am my own boss so it's even better. From the feedback I get from my team I can see that they are also happy about our management strategy and about the fact that we don't really see each other. We use microsoft 365 business voice sms to communicate inside the team and it's more than enough for now. |

So the cool thing with me is I am a Correction Officer (it's not really that cool). I started at my local county jail. Which is somewhere between being a very big Small Jail and being very small medium jail. However when it did house federal inmates it became very rough, because of the strain on staffing. And it chose to house literally they worst federal inmates lol and the jails training and resources are not even close to handling that.
However, this place was where I was first exposed to corruption at 19 years old.
Biblically we are taught the devil's greatest trick is making us think he doesn't exist and along with that we are taught the devil is master of deception. He hides in beauty. Well in the world I believe evil hides in the good. And as prideful as I am as Law Enforcement Officer Evil does hide behind the badge at times. And that was life lesson I had to learn 2 years ago.
Essentially the officers were monitored as if it was a Police State against us and we were inmates with little more privileges. My first line supervisor tried accusing me of sleeping on post because I sat still for 2 minutes, the higher brass. Captain had sexually assaulted an inmate, harassed officer, you name hes done it.
They can't get rid of him, everytime they try he uses team of lawyers to go at the county and he puts his pretty penny house on the line. On top of that he has knowledge of the Deputy Wardens crew embezzling money being brought into the facility.
We had a Shift Commander, she started as a nurse tech. And decided to be a jail cop one day. Because her husband was one, they decided she can be one and knows enough to skip the academy.
She was promoted to Corporal within 7 months of her start, and when we got rid of all corporals and made all corporals sgts, she became a Lt. 70 Lbs overweight, not trained to use her taser, never been exposed to OC Spray, but yet was commanding and shot calling for entire shift.
So I went up North to Santa Fe to work Corrections. Northern New Mexico is very embedded in its traditional Hispanic culture. If you don't live in the ABQ Metro in New Mexico, or Las Cruces opportunity is so few and far between. In turn a lot of people in some of these communities grow up in Gang violence and other local issues.
Many of them end up working at the Prison or the Department of Transportation. So Corrections in a very weird has manifested in with the Northerner identity. So as the State pen and the Jail Across the street it's very much generational.
And they say in Santa Fe it's all about who you know if you are a criminal or a cop or well anyone. And stories of supervisors setting Officers up with drugs and framing them are very much alive.
On top of that, it's very much who are you related to or know and that's who gets rank. And if you come from outside of the Northern NM circle, forget about getting promoted.
I have a Sgt. who can't even climb a pair of stairs without getting out of breath and was rejected as Sgt 10 times until, her relative who is the Warden decided to promote her.

I try to be sympathetic to my bosses because the adage is true… Being boss is a lonely job. You can either be people’s friends or you can be their boss. Can’t be both. Very well said. |

90% of every Sgt or Lieutenant I’ve worked under 😂 My training lieutenant at my first jail was a bouncer became correction officer by kissing ass he went from Officer to Sgt to lieutenant in four years and because the training Sgt had beat 3 sexual harassment allegations but the admin knew he was (he got fired year later) they made this guy the training lieutenant. Never Under went any DPS training never really knew anything at all and when we went into defensive tactics it was horrible One of the assistant managers at my old job got bounced around from store to store because they didn't have the guts to actually do anything about him being a total sleazebag to women. They FINALLY put a stop to it and fired him when they caught him on camera saying something pretty nasty to a cashier. |

I work in the steel industry. I broke my ankle a while back at work when I stepped on a round bar. The bar rolled. My ankle rolled and broke. When I came back to work several weeks later the piece of steel was still there. I asked my boss if I could buy it and put it into one of our saws and cut it into a bunch of pieces for being involved in the breaking of my ankle. His response was,
"You can have it for free. Go cut the mother f*cker up." I did. It was fun.
When I first got there my job was to double check and give the customers their orders. One guy would always come in and just take his piece(s) off the shelf and leave. I kept telling him I have to check it to make sure it's right so we wouldn't have to cut it again and he doesn't have to come back. He didn't care. I told him if something was wrong my boss would question me as to why I didn't check it. He didn't care.
So I went to my boss and told him what was going on. I asked him if I could cut his next order, and cut it wrong so he has to waste his time and drive back and forth. I thought it would teach him a nice lesson about letting me double check his orders in the future. "Do it" was the response I got. I cut his piece a half inch short. It worked. From that day on he let me check his material.
I like my boss.

90% of all bosses I've ever had fit the bill. Mostly because companies want college educated yes men with no real world experience anymore.

My boss (depending on how far up the chain you wanna go) is an idiot. I like the guy & get along with him but he's a brown noser to higher ups and then when he's trying to be "one of the boys" he tells some of the dumbest damn stories that are just total bullshit. He tried telling us a couple months ago that he went to high school with Connor McGregor....In Tennessee.
