Bit of a rough day. A new hire with two weeks on the job is acting like a bit of @$$. Unfortunately, the new hire works in my section where I am the lead-in-charge. I feel that he is not content to be in a non-lead position after retiring from a Navy supervisor-type position. Additionally, there is a concern on my part that I am white and he is black. The cause of the problem is about what music gets played in the work area. Personally, I could care less as long as work gets done; but, I don't want him to monopolize the music over the other workers. I gave him two options; work out an arrangement with the others or no music at all. Any suggestions?

Yes, your options were good. Also, headphones, if it is possible.

With all that resistance, I'm sure you'll be getting a visit from the Borg soon. :P
I hope they don't put Electrocutus in charge of the Borg invasion force. ;) That would suck.

I agree with the others on this. Whatever you choose to do, don't back down from it. If he's any kind of reasonable, the employees will work it out among themselves.

That was weird. I like it! Plus, there was two members of Alpha Flight.

I figured if anyone would get a kick out of it, it'd be the folks here XD . I only remeber Puck from Infinity War.

I was a big fan of Alpha Flight comics. I read most of the first run.

My favorites were Puck and Heather Hudson. Some of the best issues involved their friendship and his unspoken feelings for her.
