At the job, the second shift will have no supervisors. Both of them have moved on and tonight will be the last night with a supervisor at the two factories here until we get a replacement . That leaves me as the adult in the room . Great ! That is the kind of thing I've been trying to avoid . I am happy mechanicing , I just do my own thing and people leave me be. I will help out the lead men as best I can , common sense rules apply . It wouldn't be the first time I've had to step up and wing it .

We have loads of drama at work! My supervisor is moving on to greener pastures. We have one member of the crew that really wants to be supervisor ,but , he has bad attendance and was written up for that , also he has gotten in trouble for other stupid infractions like extra long breaks and just being a doofus. We have a new mechanic on day shift , and out robotics tec put a bug in wannabee supervisor's ear that new guy was going to apply for the supervisor position. Mr. wannabee blew his stack, went into the H.R. office and raised hell about it ! New guy wants no part of the supervisor gig , so Mr. wannabe came out of there looking really foolish. I'm not really sure what the moral of the story is , maybe , the old saying be quiet ,let people assume you are a fool rather than speak up and remove all doubt ? I think I will stay the course ,hang out on second shift and try not to get noticed too much. If I can keep people from blowing the place up and get a few PMs done in the meanwhile the managers are content . I am getting paid well to babysit .LOL
