Virginia. The climate is moderated by the Atlantic. You are within 2 hours of the ocean, the mountains, and the DC/Baltimore metropolis. Another plus is the proximity to a plethora of race tracks.

Yes, the cost of living (housing) is insane the farther north you get.

ya its snowing harder now.....I got an appointment to be at around rush hour......should be fun......not really

I'd leave now if I were you.

AWD Supra = should of bought a Skyline

You are comparing stress to job duties/work load..... which are notably different

 

My advice to you would be to learn to compartmentalize better. Additionally & Obviously as a manager you are in charge of your employees livelihood as well as creating a good track record for leadership (including securing your own path).. Of course it's stressful.

Actually, your giving me advice about my job and my management style is laughable. You have no idea what I do, or how I do it. I truly am taken back.

I am comparing what you term as "easier" as you move up. It's not easier. If fact it is much more difficult. As I take over a new department or new position, my job description grows as well. I am responsible for my employees livelihood, but I am also charged with growing the business, as well as growing myself.

Five years ago I had 5 salaried managers in my department. I now have myself and my assistant. It was my doing. Sure I delegate a tremendous amount, but I am also born of the cloth that you cannot expect your employees to do what you don't show them that you are willing to do as well.

At a certain point the majority of what you do is delegate...

Actually a majority of what I do is motivate, teach, and inspect what I expect.

Second-to-final-note: Michael, no one is saying that you aren't good at what you do. But your post seems to give belief that you have something to prove by pontificating about the titles you've held in the past. Buddy, we believe you and you should be proud of the accomplishments in your life. No one becomes a director, GM, or further without being a smart & successful individual.

What you failed to understand it that I was building credibility by stating my breadth and level of experience. Something which your posts have lacked. Pontificate? Nope. Just don't agree with your statement and I told you why.

But thanks for telling me that I am not credible! Long day at work, I needed a good laugh.

I stated that you had lost credibility with your statement. I'm sure you can get that back when giving career advice, you show some sort of documentation, or even an explanation, of your expertise.

I would tell you to get into:

 

Management: Job gets easier as the years go on and the income potential is uncapped.

 

You lost all credibility with this first statement.

I don't know what type of management experience you have, but every successive management promotion that I have had is MUCH more difficult, and MASSIVELY more stressful than the last.

I have been in management roles for over 20 years, including Director level and Assistant GM

positions. It never gets easier. My next level is GM and COO. I don't expect it to be a picnic!

I know if I had nav on my current Pioneer I would have to stop to make any corrections, other than that I love my Pioneer headunit

Not if you bypass it. What unit do you have ?

Spyder > North Fucks

Trooof! I own 7 Spyder Jackets, and 1 North Face button-down shirt!

DryLoc is a must. I DryLoc'ed my basement even before my house was final-finished.

Even the slightest permeation allowing water through, along with dead organic material such as lumber, air, and temperatures between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit, will propagate mold.

Do you really want to risk having to tear it out?

FAIL!

Next time post a thread more than an hour and a half beforehand and somebody may actually meet you there. Hell, I might even come by to hand you your ass in a rack, or 10!

This thread shows a lot about people. The saying, "you're only as good as your word" means a lot to me.

Like I said before. I gave the guy a chance to match the higher price. He refused. I said ok, and went with the higher price. I would assume if you were selling you're z06 and you had one guy going to offer 17k and you were going to take it but then someone called you up and said they'd give you 19k it would be hard to pass up on the extra 2k.

Let me quote this again. Maybe you might get it this time?

Gangsta... No you're right, I'm not. Personality and since of humor yeah, try it next time.

Between your thread about picking your new ride with the "dubs" on it, and the "gangsta" reference on this thread, I'm getting your personality, and finding it quite humorous! Disturbing, but humorous!

Man, I wish I could work with you. Sounds like a blast.

Just an experienced and well-trained manager. I did actually write a male, college age, employee up for harassment last week after several different MALE employees came to me complaining about homosexual references and practical jokes. This guy is not gay, but he is immature and inappropriate in the work place. Better to learn his lesson now, and not into his career.

Think of it this way: If I knowingly allow someone to violate the company anti-harassment policy, I will lose my job. It's not about being a "cool" boss. It's about keeping the workplace enjoyable for everyone.

Actually, I am pretty laid back and fun-loving at work. You can ask Mojoe how I am to work for. He helps me out as a part-time part-timer!

But I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume while I'm collating.

It's not the Volume, it's the Lyrics in this case.

Reasonable is a relative term. Actually, it is meaningless in your case. What you find comfortable, another may not. One complaint...back to my original post.

Hey, if they can play their KC and The Sunshine Band and The Allman Brothers then I should be able to play what I want.

Actually you couldn't be more wrong. All it will take is one person filing a complaint against you for creating a hostile work environment.

There are only 2 ways this can go from there:.

1. Management orders you to cease and desist. You comply!

or

2. A mandate comes down from management either listing acceptable music/radio stations, or banning music entirely in the workplace. This is a great way to achieve popularity with your co-workers.

Gangsta? Not really! Just a great way to show your level of maturity!
