Help Me Before I Strangle Someone!
Dear Sherry, I've recently been made a supervisor of a team at a large bank. They are all nincompoops. These people cannot solve problems (they bring every little things to me and expect me to 'fix things'), they don't own their own work (they expect me to review every single thing and correct their work) and they expect to be told exactly what to do (they have no initiative or creativity). I think it's because the previous supervisor was a bit of a pansy - he spoiled them and did not bother to teach them how to think for themselves. They are driving me crazy, especially when they look at me and say: that's not the way we did it when Tom was here, or we never had to do that before, or worse - why should we do that, don't you do that for us?. Help me before I strangle someone!
