My office manager couldn't manage his way out of a box. After laying off 2 outstanding people in the past two weeks and a total of 4 people in the last 3 months this guy gives a presentation to whats left of our office yesterday. Basically he has put everything on the existing staff to stay billable. His only job is to manage and interview seller doers to hire to bring in more work. Not that he would think to bring some more work in himself. In a total of 5 years he has brought in about $3,000 in work himself. The rest has been his staff which is in the millions. One other thing to note the office has been open for five years and has never turned a profit or broke even. Also, he said that he would take swift action on anyone in the office with a negative attitude. Basically implying that he would let anyone go if they have a bad attitude. To make this more interesting here is his daily work schedule:
Office 7:30 to 8:30
Gym and take kids to school 8:30 to 10:30 :smileyballs:
Office 10:30 to 11:45
Lunch 11:45 to 1:30
Office 1:30 to 4:30
Done for the day at 4:30
So thats a total of 5 hours and 15 minutes per day. While everyone else is expected to work 40++++. I will also mention he is a geologist not an engineer!!!
In this down economy our company is doing very well. We are the only office that is tanking. What is a good engineer to do??????
