I am in that group as I have no wish for advancement. If I wanted it the opportunity is there. I have previously been 'tapped up' for a Supervisor post which was subsequently advertised. I'm well qualified and would happily take on formally the role of 'go to guy' for technical stuff. I've an absolute red line though at case checking the work of others. I had enough of that sort of thing in my previous role for a lifetime. I've simply not got the personality type for any form of man management.
Been bad enough this week trying to help a colleague who was upset at what seemed to me to be sharply worded but reasonable 'tasks' given by another Supervisor. You cannot give good advice without first doing a through exploration. There's a five letter mnemonic to help with this and all five had not been covered; bang to rights as it were.
If I were doing it though I could work at home with no disadvantage but I'd like at least a day a week in the office. I've worked before in places that were Viper's nests. I'd not have wanted to be outside the office then; a fortnight's holiday resulted in return with trepidation.
