chain of command

While the boss is on a long deserving brake how he can do that by staying on this island i have no idea but there it is leaving his ever trusty 2ND in charge running the place now i do admit no one has any respect for the 2ic but weather we like it or not the 2ic is the 2ic and we must respect that my guess is there must be about 5 people who think they run the place while the boss is away while they have not tried to tell me what to do the famous 5 have been bossing others around i think it must be because of my time in the service that i take the chain of command seriously the people are in there position's are there you can not try to override because you think 2ic does not know what they are doing events in the workplace that are occurring are not being handle appropriately at Meany levels. All i can say is i am glad that were i am in the business runs separate too the rest of the place and that the famous five would not dare try to tell me what to do
