Someone needs to be in the office to take bookings, answer the phone, collect the cash, ensure vehicles are booked in for their safety checks and other maintenance and all the other admin for (possibly) several hundred vehicles and drivers. Just like a shop manager but unlike a "middle manager", especially one who hasn't yet been able to tell us how the business would come crashing down if there was no one doing his job. As yet, no one has invented a means of doing the paperwork whilst driving a lorry.

On the contrary, it's you who's demonstrating that you do a non-job. You should be ashamed of taking money under false pretences. Therefore if you had any backbone you would resign immediately and find a useful job to do that suits your abilities and intellect. Ever thought of lorry driving?

I give up. You obviously have a belief that all managers are completely able and capable to self manage. If this is the case, lets sack entire boards of directors and replace them with one single store manager who can run the entire company without any help from other sources. You're almost as thick as our resident YMFs. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC #

Able to manage their own shop and liase with others, yes. > If this is the case, lets sack entire boards of directors and replace > them with one single store manager who can run the entire company > without any help from other sources. As always when confronted with an idea outside your narrow experience you have to resort to stupidity. Shame, because once you get rid of the chip on your shoulder you might start getting somewhere. > You're almost as thick as our resident YMFs. But not as thick as most "middle managers". |
