Obvious

I've worked for several companies now.  Each has their own 'method' or 'tools' for managers and supervisors; guidelines that they should use or apply, to keep associates content.  I've looked at them, and decided never to use them.  Because, ultimately, people aren't chess pieces on a board; there to manipulate to push up my own career.  They're people.  It's not fucking rocket science if you aren't a fucking robot.
