Topic:Have you ever been the boss?
Hi, my name is Chris, I’m from the US and my question is, “Have I ever been a boss?” Yes, I have been a boss at one time. It was before I finished my undergraduate degree. I was a manager at McDonalds for about little over a year. Uhm, it was a job that I enjoyed but I was very busy all the time. Uhm, and, you know, when you’re the boss and you have people working under you, it also becomes an issue of managing people, not only just managing what happens in doing your job but also making sure that people are doing their job and you’re responsible for them.
Based on my case, responsible for the cash drawer, making deposits, ordering, taking inventory, making sure everybody was doing what they’re supposed to be doing and also myself, staying busy to help things run as smoothly and efficiently.
