Day Three, New Boss.

The worst thing you can tell the new boss is why you're having problems and blaming someone else for your failures.

Rule one. Never, ever lie.
Rule Two. See rule one.

Seems two of the other operations managers tried to throw our recruiter and trainer under the bus. This is the story the old boss told the regional VP to place blame on others, rather than holding those responsible accountable.

I told my recruiter and trainer several months ago to back up their data because it's something I have always done and I can not count the number of times it saved me from being under the bus.

Anyway, to make a long story short and not get into company business. Both recruiter and trainer took my advise, they we're the last two to be interviewed by the new guy. The new guy had it in for them, along with the regional VP because of what the ops guys told them.

After much back and forth, the evidence was presented and needless to say those ops guys who lacked integrity are in front of the fan waiting for it to start flying.

As for me, the reginal VP had no idea of how big my area is, or that I did my own recruiting and training. He and the new guy liked what I had to say, but a first for me, liked the way I said it. I may get to like these guys.

My old boss hid a lot of information on his operations from corporate. We also learned of issues that we're to be trickled down to us that never did.

Honesty is the best policy, take responsibility for your actions and be accountable.

But, this policy at church may get you blacklisted, I don't care, I'm not here to impress anyone on earth. I do my job to please the Lord, he is my ultimate supervisor.

Keep those in my office in prayer, it's going to get turbulent from this point on.

ok, how many times can one beg for an update? What do you all think about Hong Kong Wok instead of Logan's?
