I’m in a seasonal position, so everything I’m doing right now is prep work for my site and my responsibilities, which hasn’t opened yet, so I haven’t had the chance to actually supervise the employees there.
I need advice because I don’t want to be one of those people in management that gets a power trip and fucks over their team. So far, I’m fighting for lunches to be paid and wages to be consistent among our employees (the company pays the minimum wage for their respective states as we operate within three states, which is bullshit). The site hasn’t opened yet so I haven’t had any real opportunity to see where I can improve.
I am looking for advice on how to be a non-useless manager who actively provides a good working environment for my “subordinates” and how to avoid a power trip. I have ideas myself because I was sparingly temporarily in charge of this lot of people and I’ve been in their position at this company before, but I just don’t want to let them down or screw them over. I need parameters that upper management isn’t preoviding
