About 20 years ago I worked for a small state agency where supervisors, quality review and trainers were all the same payscale and you could transfer from one area to the other. One of the sups was promoted to area manager (4 areas in the state) and our office dynamics changed. Normally, these 3 classifications were back ups for the security system (manager was fully responsible) and if the manager and all the sups were out of the office, one of us (slightly lesser) reviewer/trainer was ‘in charge’. Fast forward 6 months, Upper Management scheduled a 2 day training for the manager and the sups. I make the mistake of asking who’s in charge while they are gone. New manager looks at me and says … “None of you are in charge since you don’t have the fiscal responsibility that I and the sups have”. It was said in a put you in your place voice. Me, nearing retirement, thinks - Cool, one less headache for me … what I said was “Glad to know that.” Fast forward 4 months and it’s time to rotate the security system backup. Manager looks at me and my partner and says that it’s our turn. I look at the manager and said "It would seem that if QR doesn’t have fiscal responsibility and can’t be ‘in charge’ when management is out, then QR can’t be responsible for security backup. My manager opened her mouth, shut her mouth and turned a interesting hue of red. We get out of the meeting and my partner and the trainers are all happy as am I. The 4 sups, not so much.
