re: #101 Targetpractice

The one we have now is cool and pretty much is always on the same level as I am when dealing with a guest. Being the night auditor means I qualify as “manager on duty,” which is darkly amusing when the person who thought they were going to get their way realizes that I’m not going to budge.

Now the last one was a micromanager, and we rarely saw eye to eye on anything, no matter how much fake friendliness she tried to force over the two years we worked together. I have found I much prefer an asshole manager to act like an asshole manager than one that tries to be my “friend.”

With an asshole you know where you stand, because they’ll tell you. If they’re an honest asshole, they will also tell you where you stand when things are running well.
