What are your common problems as a manager?

Hi there Axlescorner!

I think that the most common problem as a manager is having abusive, uncooperative and disobedient employees.

I am not a manager but my husband is & I know what he has to go through with his employees. For the most part they act like children. It's like they can't do the simpliest thing without calling enough & asking him how to do this or that. Then they drive hi crazy with "I can't work this day or on that day" Then there will be days they need off so because it's a small store & no one else wants to do it my husband has to go in on his days off. Now when he needs off they hardly ever do the same for him. Of course there are times when they do show up for work but don't stay for the whole shift due to a family emergency, no one to watch my kids, or they are sick. I will tell you this I would never want to be a manager in a million years. I could never hardly all that stress.
