Seagull Management Method

Earlier this week the management team in the store had the inestimable pleasure of having to be reamed out by the district management after a recent walk-through visit. This company makes a big show about fostering a "fast, fun, and friendly" work environment, but evidently all of that is complete bullshit, or at the very least corporate officers think it doesn't apply to them.

This particular stuffed suit believes in the "seagull management method." Basically it means that you swoop on in suddenly, squawk and make a lot of noise, lay out a ton of crap everywhere, then swoop back out without so much as a howdy-do.

As a result, of course, the store management team has been in a bad mood the last couple of days. You know the old saying about how stuff rolls down hill....

More to come.

Oh, you poor thing, my heart goes out to you, you are stuck in the merry go round of the corperate world.
Life is too short, you will NEVER win, and a sagitarius has to win!!!
A snake thinks they can win, but they can't, (people can see the shifty look on your face.
A rat, an ox, a tiger and so on will beat you everytime.
Stop stamping around looking for a fight, and pull your arrow in.

Your mind can only grow when you are free of the bossy nasties.
Find other jobs and lots of them, The people you meet will teach you the way to success. Success cannot be measured by promotions and bonuses......
Success is measured by whether you did the right thing or not.

Hope you are feeling better.
Do Travel, it's in your soul.
