A Day in the Life of a Production Manager

I feel it only fitting to start with an introduction to the life of a Production Manager.

To put it simply, it is the most un-respected, underpaid, overlooked, thankless job in the world. On any given day you are expected to jump through hoops for the planning department and upper management, all the while, coddling the production floor through bitter arguments over cheating men and dirty looks just to get 4 hours worth of work out of an 8 hour day.

The leading cause of heart attacks in the American workforce? Largely in part due to profession. What would that profession be? Why, Production Manager, of course.

This blog is dedicated to the insane reality I call my professional life and the situations and experiences it takes me through from day to day.
