He wanted to implement supervisor training programs, simplify the employee record system, address employee grievance problems which included weak supervisors, poor working conditions, and poor communications and morale. Various job related problems and issues arose during the day that Sam seemed to ignore or forget about, while out to lunch and daydreaming. He quickly realized on his drive home that he didn’t accomplish much during the day, which made him feel guilty. He started to realize that while his plans for work as a manager where well intentioned, he wasn’t accomplishing much. He struggled with the work life balance and time management.
