Man.. I must be one of the luckiest son of a bitches ever or something..
Heh, depends on how old you are ;^)
I've
got supervisors, even now, that have very different personal beliefs in
plenty of areas.. but we never allow that to effect our work
relationship. I
also work pretty regularly with people I don't like, but don't let
that get in
the way of doing our jobs either.. and I'm sure there are poeple that
just
don't like me for some reason.
It must be another nod to the culture of our company, and the pretty
rigorous
hiring interviews we do.
Well I've seen both and fortunately worked more often in what I would
wish for rather than the "bad place". To be fair I have seen it mostly
in government settings (state university and the military) although some
of the horror stories from the ranks of sales in private industry are
astoundingly bad. On the whole I think that profit in a competitive
market is a heavy disincentive to regard anything except productivity
thereby resulting in the "good" situation where supervisory "like" is
secondary to performance. In fact that being the case "like" tends to
follow over time at least for me.
I'm not so sure the interview process itself weeds out people who could
be this way but your corporate culture does seem to supress these sorts
of nonsensical work environment behaviors (and I'm referring mostly to
supervisors which are the most notable when they are bad actors in a
union/non-union context).
I'm not sure I will ever punch a clock again...
