Mom and pop shop ignores employees concerns, exact issue ensues: 'That was my first taste of, “maybe being a manager doesn't mean you have all the answers”.'

It's frustrating when a manager cares more about having power than actually being a good manager. Just because you were given a title, doesn't mean you know the answer to everything. If anything, all that means is that you were given a leadership position, so friggin' lead! That doesn't mean shutting down your employees and only doing things if it makes you look successful. As a manager, you should want your employees to look good! So if they come to you with a good idea, you shouldn't shut them down just because your ego couldn't take that you didn't come up with that idea first. Like, what?? That just makes everything worse for everyone. You'd think if you made it all the way to manager, you would know this. 

 

Unfortunately, one short search in the web and you will find an endless plethora of employees complaining about their micromanaging manager, or their belittling boss, etc. This even happens in small mom-and-pop establishments like this sauce canning place!
