I used to work in a catering company, and was promoted to Catering Manager, but at first I just kept on messing around with the rest of my staff. My duties included doing the rounds when everyone else had left. One evening, one of my staff put several thousand pounds' worth of frozen food in a fridge by mistake. I should have discovered this, but I didn't, and the next day the food was ruined. When I told my boss, I treated it as a joke, and put the blame on the person who'd made the mistake. My boss made it clear that I was ultimately answerable for what my staff did, and if my attitude didn't change I'd be out of a job. Needless to say, it did change, and quickly. |
