@mafoo I asked the same question on one of the first pages and you didn't answer on that. What to do you think about this dilemma? |
The restaurant never promoted a manager to a GM of the same restaurant. I assume even if you gave it to the right guy, the others would have some resentment. They were always transferred. Also, the chain was always opening up new locations (at the time I worked there, at a rate of one a week). The GM jobs for the new stored were filled for these with promotion as well.
I am sure some people got promoted unfairly, but if that happened, there was always a chance the restaurant would suffer. Most GM's were looking to be Regional Managers (even more money), so they had a stake in doing the right thing as well. In this system, if you work well, you will get a GM job someday.
It's not perfect, but nothing is, and I think this is far better then any real world scenario I can think of.
