Hi! I've been working minimum wage jobs for a while and I recently got a management position. (never been)

Is there anything that I should know going into it.

I have no experience!

thanks!!

Being popular amongst your coworkers creates for bad managers in short because coworkers may take certain liberties since they know you’ll have their back. And they don’t mind putting you in awkward positions since most of your employees dislike their job and would rather avoid applying effort, rather than doing a decent job.

But the money is better, and the job is easier on the body. I’m speaking from a kitchen manager perspective.

Don't be a wet rag

more of a supervisor position

Would never be buddy buddy with my subordinates. Even if I was in the trenches with them.

You gotta be firm but fair. Oh, what? You took TWO coffee breaks? Ya I’ll need to see you in my office, mama. We not in YO mf kitchen no mo.

assertive ?

ty for the reply brother

Ya i hated it and stepped down.

Be nice, but also confident and assertive so people respect you

It's higher pay then the last minimum wage jobs I previously had so I'm like

A positron is a particle of matter with the same mass as an electron but an opposite charge. It is a form of antimatter because, when a positron encounters an electron, the two completely annihilate to yield energy.

Make sure you’re consistent no matter what and know your role front to back, if your staff gets any hint that you’re a pushover or incompetent you’ll have lost them.

I have

Ayyy good s*** brodie. I never been but from experience with seeing how most previous managers/supervisors were I’d say it’s important to find some type of middle ground in how you move. You don’t wanna be over friendly and you don’t wanna be over strict. I’ve noticed the supervisors that found a way to balance that laidback/seriousness behavior had the smoothest workers. Everything would flow so nicely.

@op I’m 20 and a ops manager I’m sure you got this

Good looks bro

Spill the beans 🫘 🤨

(fuckin wit u gang)

None of them are your friends, and they are there to do a job.

It sounds rough but it’s the truth. Once it gets to “relaxed” they will either slack off more or simply not respect your authority.

You can have fun with them and all that as long as everyone remains on task.

don't be too nice but don't be a d*** either and mfs will respect what you have to say if they're not d***s themselves

Also always practice what you preech.

If your telling someone it needs to be done “the long way” but sometimes you take “the short way” when you have to, your credibility is worthless

lmao

nah it was at an IT company had 4 interns i was the supervisor of

was pretty interesting learned a lot

idk what exactly its about but for what its worth

def dont be a d*** or too nice, gotta find your balance

don't make the mistake of being so busy that when handling a situation with somebody you're managing you're making negative assumptions about what they did, it's really demotivating and those who see it will recognize it as incompetence under the guise of being tough or whatever (which is all it is)

lead by example, and make sure you know ur shyt, authority is more respected when they see you actually know what u talking about

good luck bro

Micromanage and boss everyone around keeping an eye over them like a hawk, if they question your authority threaten to fire them, watch back the security cameras to ensure no one is messing around

Ty my good brother 🙏

In my last job we went from a good manager to a bad one and its very obvious what separates them. The good one knew the skillset of the job back to front and could give competent instruction and advice to make sure that all team members were up to the job, this also built trust from workers. The bad one would look to blame others and couldn't explain properly how a job should be done, which lead to team members losing trust and just dragging the chain. Another thing is micromanaging, that bad manager did that all the time and it communicated that she had a lack of trust in team members and was nervously trying to stay on top of things.
