We got a new boss. Guys with decades of experience leave or change. Then you got little old me. 5 years and they tell me you’re in charge now. Wtf bro. I’m just tripping out man. Like a week ago I was the least experienced and now I’m training and I’m making every call. I’m the man as they say. wtf man. How does this happen. See this is why you need to fuck off at work I went and showed them that I’m not retarded and now I’m paying for it. I wanna kick back and let veterans handle this bullshit.

Is it a meth lab?

How in charge are you, really? Could you fire everyone currently working there and replace them? You don't own the company, so at some pojnt you answer to someone. It's just a question of how involved they want to be.

If the answer to the second question above is "yes", well, then you're very much in charge. Try to do things the way the last guy did, until you start to feel like you understand why he did things that way. If the answer is "no", though, then all you need to do is be cool and try to anticipate what the boss man wants and get those balls rolling before he asks so you seem like a rockstar and can get shit done in no time flat (but, also, don't over-commit and set a ball rolling you can't stop before he asks for it.)

The details are going to require your constant attention and thoughts both on and off the clock, but the flowchart really only has those two branches from the root on it and every other option after that is just a matter of your best judgement.

You are going to take the credit for the glorious fall.

Yep. If you show up. On time. Eventually you'll be in charge.

You'll get efficient in your role, and may find it suits you.

the company you work for, like so many others, are having a competency crisis. read "atlas shrugged", and realize that everyone that was worth a shit left.all that is left is you. it shouldnt be long now. what happens next will be upon all of you.

Yep. Seen it. Sometimes it happens if a company over promises to get really good talent. Eventually the good talent all realizes around the same time the mobility they were promised isn't there and they make their own mobility.

It doesn't mean the company is fucked. It means it might be fucked. It all depends on OP more than anything else. OP do not higher niggers even if you get short handed or upper management pushes for it. Do you know what happens if you hire them. The exact same "every one bail" that happened in mid management happens to the talented folks at the bottom. Now your shop will never retain good workers.

Hire white hire right. If you can't meet demand (short handed) raise prices. Do not try to meet surplus demand with highering niggers no matter what upper management says. If they make you hire then fire the first second they fuck up.

It's better to do less volume with a good team then high volume with a bad team. A good team can grow. A bad team will fester and decay and rot out a company from the inside. You will not retain the people you want if they have to work with niggers.

Congratulations on your promotion. Assuming you are being compensated accordingly.

Now save enough of your discretionary income to start your own enterprises or investment real estate.

Hire a hot little office siren as your assistant.
Then sexually harass her.
Problem solved

Now you can make them show you their Dick, or fire them.

Cheers.
Good luck

I think that would fall under "Workplace Sexual Harassment", bit I think Saint is more into Sexual His-assment.

I just built out an org chart today. Getting promoted and will have 8 direct reports. My salary is doubling. Yeah, lots more headaches but I have already been doing the same job for a while. In a lot of ways, it will be easier.

Your reward for being a good worker is more work
