We are getting a new manager at work

It'll be the 4th in 3 years since ive been there. Its always a tense time as a manager can make your job smooth or a living hell. You never know which one you'll get.

Managers, like deypers, need to be changed often. And usually for the same reason.

At my old job, I used to joke about how the place ate managers. like, "Aww look, the shop is eating" kind of like how we feel when we feed the birds at the park. 🥹

But yeah like you were saying, they come in, think they are going clean house, but then they burn out and are just as unmotivated as all the other new sheriffs that the place has devoured in the past.

It was like that in the Army where I retired from, every time we had a change of command, or a person promoted above us, they had to instantly change what works and place their idea of how to doit better on things.

Like you said sometimes okay, rarely good, and usually a disaster coming.

@WillaKissing They always come in and try to "shake things up", like excuse me, there is a reason we do things the way we do them here. Cut to a few months later and they make it seem like the old way of things was their idea. 🙄

@Kuronekko Yes, once they realize their new bright idea was a dull knife that won't slice bread ad revert back to how it is supposed to be run.

4 managers in 3 years? Must be a good workplace. This is why I only use co-workers as references instead of managers.
I always heard shark music (from Jaws) when a manager shift was announced.

@Mamapolo2016 I know, right?
@Kuronekko At least once, the shark showed up in the guise of an extreme micro-manager. But I was promoted shortly thereafter and escaped.
