Who Are The People in the Office?

I work, as I have stated in other posts for a large Cleveland company. This company employs thousands of people. It is very renowned. I work in a small yet vital section of the HR department.

Our department is not policy making, however it is important to the functioning of the company.

My supervisor, Andrea has been in that role for about 20 years. I like her, she is very laid back, not in an incompetent way, but more in an observatory role. She guides more than delegates. She leaves the delegation to Fern, our HR administrator.

The administrator sets the work tone for the office. Think of her as an assistant manager in retail terms. She's very nice and teaches well. She doesn't seem to mind the amount of questions you ask. As one of the first people I met when I came in on the first day, she and I clicked. She is very smart and I could see her running the department should Andrea ever decide to leave.

Then there's the other assistant, Cherise. She's been here about six months. Now with her I am sure I will have many stories. As a person she is nice. As a worker she is extremely insecure.

We each have different jobs, but I do believe that I will be a threat for Cherise. Mostly in her own mind.
