Management

No not the football variety, but the boring everyday life sort.

Prepare yourselves for an advice article, on a Friday no less

I recently applied for a job with the local council as a Compliance Officer, which is essentially a managerial job in everything but name. Got an interview on Wednesday, and assuming I don't make a kant of it (the odds are stacked in my favour ) I'll have the job as its between me and one other guy.

My question to you fine folk is.. got any tips on how to manage well? As the only management I've ever done has been small scale, running wee jobs on site, and that's different as I'm still one of the lads in that respect.

I know about leaving a paper trail to cover your erse, not leaving a paper trail to cover your erse , and generally being organised.. hut any other specific tips to make my life easier?

Job involves dealing with/meetings with contractors, running jobs, allocating schedules etc. Obviously I'll be like a fish out of water for the first couple months so looking to get any head start I can.. and I know a few of you can help 😅

Cheers.

You’ll be getting a “reward” you’re not expecting on Saturday mate.

On train so all good so far. Mind you I’m only 5 minutes in

Find out the other guys route to the office and loosen all the manhole covers on the way.

Find out where he gets his coffee and drop a laxative in it.

Get somebody to accidentally bump into him with a water in hand (but it's actually vodka) and spill some on him. He will be reeking of booze.
