R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Today was supposed to be an awesome day at work. It was the last day the 3 amigas would work together since Cheryl is transferring to another state. I was happy to enjoy a day of pharmacy love.

Love was not there at all.

I'm a young supervisor; twenty-five to be exact. I have the pleasure of supervising people from every age group. I am okay with that. The problem that I have is disrespect. Common sense tells you not to smart off to your manager. But I obviously work with individuals who lack common sense. I refuse to be disrespected. When I decided to exercise my authority, I am faced with young technicians who want to give me hell for doing so. Maybe it was wrong to hang out with them outside of work...probably gave the impression that we're equals. News Flash: we aren't!

Tomorrow my staff will be introduced to a new Victori...they will respect me!

  1. It's amazing how some easily lose their work ethic directly after hanging with their manager for one break/hour.
