351 342. Its hard to afford to listen to other departments (1/2)

When you hear the word ”manager”, you may get a bad image of a manager, depending on the people around you.

A manager may be a jerk who comes home on time even though everyone around him or her is working, or a respectable person who follows up on the mistakes of subordinates and fulfills his or her responsibilities, depending on the people and environment around him or her.

Also, hardship, which is unknown to the average employee, is a factor that creates a skeptical impression that some people do not know what they are doing.

Chief Tanaka, the report is ready and I just sent it to you by email.

”Okay. I'll check.

Chief, I would like to ask you some questions about the Immortal King's dungeon attack the other day.

”Yeah, that part.

Chief Tanaka, the shopping district reported on the delivery of this month's supplies.

Thank you. Tell him I'll get back to him when I'm done checking this.

That's what I'm experiencing right now.

The main job of a manager is, as the word implies, managing his or her people.

I could say simply, but the word management is an idiosyncratic one.

Proportionately broad, shall we say?

If you had a black style where you are free to do what you want and get the rest of the work done, and your subordinates are responsible for your mistakes, it would be less of a hardship, but that doesn't work here.

Literally, you have to understand the process of your subordinate's work, what he does, what results he achieves, and what results he achieves.

However, if you tell your subordinates everything, it will result in undermining their autonomy, so it is difficult to make an appropriate decision.

It is often said that a great person should sit down in a chair.

To be honest, at first, I was so nervous whenever the report was presented that I was relieved to read it without anyone knowing.

Chief!　Can I have a moment?

”Oh.

And it's not just your subordinates that you have to keep track of, but the department has to know exactly how it's operating.

In a fantasy sense, it's like running a guild.

It is also the section chief's job to prepare an environment where employees, who are dungeon testers, can work smoothly.

You have to review the reports from the leader of Team 4, answer the questions from the leader of Team 6, and think about how to deal with the information received from the dark elves other than Kaylee... Honestly, I'm just too busy to say the least.

”Senpai!　What can I tell you about today's dungeon attack?

”Yes, we'll be at the Dragon King's as planned. I'm sorry Kaido, but Kitamiya isn't here today, so tell that to Nan and the others and set up a schedule for the attack.

”Yes, sir!

Although I'm not listening to several people in parallel like Prince Shotoku, there is a line in front of my seat so often that I'd like to say it's a line at a popular ramen restaurant.

I guess it's because we've only been in operation for a short time and the newcomers are asking questions too often.

Hoping that they will calm down eventually, I ask Kaido to prepare for the afternoon, while I busily work on the paperwork to be completed in the morning.

Oh, I must admit that I'm both happy and sad to see that the employees I saw when I first joined the company are now able to process things so quickly.

Jiro-kun.

Ms. Keely, it's fine in private, but not at work.

I'm sorry. Sorry, okay?

As I was finishing up the chores I had to do, the next person who came was Kaylee.

With her short hair and lively smile.

She's older than me in age, but I'm in a higher position.

She didn't seem particularly bothered by the fact that she was replaced after only a year, and she approached me a little teasingly, holding a document in one hand.

There are many opportunities to talk with her, who has a sense of responsibility, but will do anything to get ahead if she can or won't.

After all, she's the coordinator of the office staff.

The problem is that she doesn't talk to you.

And?　What is it?　If it was a report from the superintendent, I would have looked it over.

I'm not sure if it's about the report I was handed the other day, but I thought it was about the report I was given.

The report says that the number of demons on the continent is slowly but surely on the rise.

It's a dirty report, I must say, but unfortunately it's about another world.

It's not something I can do anything about, so this is just something to keep in mind.

”And another thing, yes this. Other departmental accomplishments.

This is just a normal, important document.

However, it seems that this was a different matter, and the document that was lightly handed to me was written by her, or perhaps she had created it, and it described how the second and third sections were currently making their achievements.

You can find a number of different types of documents that are available in the marketplace.

”Well, that's why you don't let the other kids see that.

I know.

I don't know how she did it, but I guessed she had some connections, so I took a look at the contents and I felt my eyes narrow.

..........

Yes, that's a bold move by the second section. How will you look at it, Chief?

From the contents of the document, it's clear that the second section's course of action is quite simple.

”Did you only focus on the Demon King's dungeon?

I must say that the section's commitment to do everything in its power is quite drastic.

In the beginning, Section 2 had been visiting various dungeons, but now they only went to the Onion King's dungeon.

The reason for this is probably because he decided that instructor Kio's dungeon would give him the best results.

From the outside, it can be seen as a drastic move or a naive decision.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make a decision like this.

......... is this kind of decision possible?

If you ask me if I can allocate that much of our resources as a department, I can tell you I can't.

If you succeed, you'll get results before anyone else, but if you fail, there's no end in sight.

But now you seem to be succeeding.

You've done some good work.

The deepest level of the demon king's dungeon may be updated soon.

And if you turn over the paperwork to check the status of the three sections you're interested in.

.........

Somehow I can see why Ms. Keely showed me this document.

What do you think?

”......... ordinary, and only

The content is rather mediocre .

Evenly distributed throughout.

No noteworthy accomplishments and no signs of slacking off.

I've badly described it as mediocre, but it's a solid set of content that could be described as solid.

Can we be honest?

Is it spooky?

I tried to mend my words and choose a bland answer, but she seemed to be able to see through it, and if asked to confirm, I would give my honest opinion this time.
