A èay in the life of an Office
Manager

to be somewhat more firm than gentle when
projects have to be completed, equipment needs to
be serviced, or difficulties with staffing spring up.

disagrees. You live on your reputation, and when
you have to do your job to someone else¶s
commands, you have to voice your opinion,´ said
one fifteen-year manager.
