Part of the issue, if I’m in this particular situation where I might be incoming as a new manager is that I have a responsibility to determine on my own who is productive and who isn’t. If I base it upon the interview of one person who has animosity towards the rest of group, then it’s that person who is managing the group and not I. It really sets a bad precedent.

As a manager, I can tell you that talking bad about your colleagues at your level is always a mistake. You can talk about the bosses (although I would suggest not to their face) or the people below you; but talking about those on the same level, and especially those with seniority, will create a level of animosity that will only make you want to quit.

In my grocery store, you would be fired, as it is against company policy to follow a shoplifter out of the store. I doubt the shoplifter will call and complain, but I wouldn’t report the injury.

So I was in the neighborhood a few months ago and noticed this open garage and found a sack full of coins. They didn’t look like regular quarters, but they fit perfectly in the washing machine slot. I’m so glad that I didn’t have to pay for laundry that week.
