It doesn't seem to take too long before the manager becomes just as frustrated as we do, only they are stuck in that funk for the rest of their careers. They throw up their hands and we end up in paralysis. Hard to just collect a check and leave the irratations of the job behind you as Freightpuppy suggests when you are on the hook 24/7 and have to be careful about which of your co workers it is safe to talk to.

There's a reason that the company has to go off campus to recruit managers. We've all passed on the opportunity for "promotion" already.
