Okay most of you know I took a new job going on 8 months ago. I have been doing very well. I have been stern and understanding of staff that needed to be pushed a little in a better direction.

I have put surgeons on the right path when they are inappropriate with the way they act and have gone as far as offering a trip outside to discuss how tough they really are.

I have been very supportive of my staff make sure they have what they need. I have saved over $450,000 year to date on process changes, better pricing and I have been coming in way under budget. I even buy pizza for all my staff when a someone passes a specialty certification.

Well the past two days I purchased two new refrigerators and a new couch for the staff lounge it was over due and I decided they needed it. I even promised them a 40 inch flat screen and dvd player for meetings requiring videos for training.

Well all the sudden I am being referred to as Daddy off the cuff by my staff (100+ females) I think I am flattered. I know they respect me and they know my expectations which I am very clear about. They all are very professional and do a great job taking care of people every day.

So I guess I am flattered or even honored that they would refer to me in that manner, even if it is off the cuff.

You might not be their daddy (that's a bit pervy), but

you the man!

Sounds like you have the boss / employee situation figured out. Sounds like you have a very happy staff at the moment. Good situation to have these days!

Aaaahhh, was that Daddy, or....perhaps....Sugar Daddy?

I'm your Daddy!

That could be conscrewed as sexual harrassment.

Dad,

Can I borrow the key to the Rocket? Purdy Please? I'll be real good and I promise not to speed or make fun of Harley riders. Honest!

I'm interested that you offered to consult further with eminent surgeons outside the premises.
Any take you up on your offer?
And when might you think you will be promoted to overall King Pin?

..... sounds like you've got your finger on the pulse there Lee.

If they start calling you 'grandaddy' it'll be time to move on

Not to be misunderstood, I treat my surgeons with respect this is a expectation that I enforce for myself, staff and the surgeons. I am talking about the old school where surgeons thought they could act up and have no accountability.

If they are going to talk crap(not the word of choice) then they need to be able to back what they are spewing. So far in my carreer I have only had to resort to that offer three times and not even a mutter to take me up on it. Of course if any had taken me up most likely it would have been the end of my position, but if I did not make my stance clear I would not be worth anything as a director.
