[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 447214, member: 245"] I have one. There are basically two of us that run the department that I am in. I am supposed to be in charge of operations. So, I manage the office staff, co-ordinate shipping, put together material lists and basically just juggle whatever else happens to come my way. My counterpart is supposed to be in charge of pricing, scheduling, managing construction crews, doing final inspections and collecting final payments. So, our pricing has been out of whack right since spring. The construction projects we get are under bid significantly. So, we aren't making much on those. He has been out to do inspections twice so far this year. He should be making a run about every three weeks. There are projects that have been sitting on the ground since July because he hasn't co-ordinated with anybody to build them. As far as the salesmen go, they have taken to calling me when they have questions about special pricing, because the other guy is 'too busy' to work on that. We have almost a million dollars outstanding over 90 days because he's not doing the collections and I'm getting calls from customers asking when there projects are going to be done. When I refer them to my counterpart, they tell me that he won't return his calls. He's a very good talker and every time he talks to the manager, he just tells him that things are going really well. I, on the other hand, have a bad attitude because I insist on telling the manager how things really are. If this guy works an hour a day for us, I'd be surprised. I don't know what he makes, but I'm sure its more than me. He runs his own construction crew as well, and does his job in between running to job sites. The whole thing just drives me nuts and all I can hope is that when the manager does his year end review, he'll realize just what this guy has been doing all year and yet, I'm concerned that he'll somehow blame the company shortcomings on me. Oh well, I guess its just a job. :roll: [/QUOTE]
