Do you have a job where there are more Chiefs than Indians? How do you put up with it?

Question

djzlyric,whether or not you're a Native American,I should have worded it differently,even though that's a common phrase in this day and age.Let's try this,too many employees,not enough workers.

Answer 1

Start looking for someplace else. Those are generally disaster situations where the ax may come down on everybody.

Answer 2

I wish you could choose a different analogy. Chiefs are great and wise with age. I assume you are speaking of Native Americans. Real Indians are from India.
Me be Me own Chief!!!

Answer 3

All the chiefs are so smart (they think) it is fun to watch them sit around and over-engineer absolutely everything, and waste the company's time and money over and over again ! The real fun is they do everything not twice, but 4 or 5 times. My boss reminds me to do things I taught him (years ago) on a daily basis.

Answer 4

Do you get 'job satisfaction' from performing your job, I do, thats how i deal with the "too many chiefs" situation.
I do my job to the best of my ability, when i feel that i am being as efficient and as helpful as possible it allows me to overcome the frustrations of petty office politics

Answer 5

Sounds like my job...you just recognize who the Big Chief is and do what he/she says...if anyone questions you , just say "well, lets see what the Big Chief has to say about this" and eventually they will leave you alone.

Answer 6

no
