It's been just over three years since I started working here at 3M. I'm now on my third manager. The change was made Wednesday. Unlike the previous two, the new manager does not have a technical background. Her degree is in nursing. That does not mean she's not capable of herding the cats in the group. She's been here for several years and has done installations, support, managed the tech writers, and several other jobs. She understands how developers think...and it isn't like the people she's managed before. One good thing...everyone I've talked to that worked for her before is jealous, with several saying "She's the best manager I've ever had." One person told me that in a recent survey of other managers here, her named was listed the most often as the response to the question, "Which manager would you like to hear from?". This bodes well for our team. She not only gets the respect of her employees, but is highly regarded by other managers too.
