Thank You Haley.

I am that supervisor, although not necessarily a difficult one, Your ideas are wonderful starting points to share with a new team member.

As a supervisor/manager, we have expectations from our company or organization as well.

Your ideas presented here today are good to share together so the manager and staff understand each of the roles and duties we must carry out.
