竹雲からの招聘 物語を読む

You're the temporary secretary Ume hired for me? Looks competent.
You'll be in charge of supervising the preparations for Bamboo Cloud's anniversary celebration.
In other words, you'll be a supervisor.
A supervisor... which basically means I'm a project manager. Now I see. It's a job nobody likes.
I agree with you. Why else would we need to hire you at the last minute to replace the previous supervisor who had an "accident"?
...
Why the long face?
Relax! I was just joking. Here at Bamboo Cloud, we won't easily let any employees get hurt, since you're all precious labor assets to me.
What will I need to do?
Here's a list of your tasks. There are four locations you need to go to, and you'll need to confirm the progress with the person in charge at each location.
You'll need to be both gentle and firm with them.
What do you mean?
It means you'll need to push them mercilessly when it looks like they are behind schedule or might not complete their tasks on time.
But at the same time, you'll need to be a kind boss who provides timely assistance when they are incapable.
It doesn't sound easy...
Management requires both experience and skill. If you want to learn more about it, you can ask our manager Ume.
I understand.
Okay, then you better get to it.
By the way, you should find a chance to meet our accountant Take, who is responsible for handling all your paychecks.
I can't wait to see how you'll do, my dear new secretary.
