Hard to be manager...

One of my peers manager said to me that one of her subordinates is facing a real problem. See, she moved from her last job to this current job, hoping for a better life certainly. Since she is practically is a “head of the family” then her family surely depends on her. And with her current salary it is very hard, it a tough life for her. She need to pay for the house rent, living cost, his sisters education cost…..if that’s not hard enough, she didn’t have time to do a part time job right now, since to go home she need at least 2 hours. So no time to do a part time job.

The hardest part of a manager job is balancing company requirement (to become a profitable business) and humanity – such as raising her salary to match her requirement. It is merely an art job, this balancing task. If we don’t do something we will lose this briliant person, but if you want to raise his level / salary..then a question will show up, such as “Why your subordinates having higher level compare then me?” I really could not think right now, tommorrow perhaps better…gonna take a nap, huahemmmmm
