having shed my pager, blackberry, cellphone, walkie talkie I'm in at 8:45 and I am done at 5:30. I don't have the same stresses as I once did when I managed 15 people.
I had to account for these tricks of the trade and more because I didn't have something to "GPS locate" my direct reports. I had to follow up on them. It was my responsibility. Each month I would take two or three of them and audit them. I'd go through each documented issue they claimed to work on and verify it with the customer they interacted. It was a pain in the ass, and they still figured out how to fuck with it.
