Management Role in Production

Joe, a newly appointed manager for Best Made Mfg., lasted a mere 3 weeks before being placed back into his previous position on the production line. The rumor mill (which tends to be correct at Best Made) said it was a case of Joe's expectations and those of upper management being vastly different when it came to what the management position entailed. Joe expected to be doing mostly the same work with more pay and maybe a few more meetings. He found himself faced with a work unit full of his former peers whom he saw (and who saw him) in a whole new light.
