All I need is a peer reply for each individuals' discussions below separately please!

Question they answered: For this Discussion there are three questions: 1. Discuss a positive or negative experience you have had with a supervisor, (no real names please). 2. Have you ever left a job due to a bad supervisor? 3. Knowing what you know now (after 4 weeks of our time together), what would you have done differently as that supervisor?

Discussion #1: (Andrew) 1. A positive experience I had with a supervisor was when I was very new to the fire department at my first station, my Captain sat me down and explained to me that my workouts at the fire station were too vigorous. I'm big into fitness and I love pushing myself to my limits, but he kindly explained to me that at the fire station I can't be exercising to the point of exhaustion because if the tones go off for a structure fire and I'm completely spent from my workout, I'm essentially no good on the fire scene. It's good to workout hard, but you have to know your body and your limits and always be ready for the call. At the time, I wasn't too fond of it not giving it my all in the gym, but looking back now it was good advice and I have taken his advice because I want to be useful on the fire scene. 2. I almost left a job due to bad supervisors. At Sam's Club I did not like a couple of my supervisors because they basically had a "no fun" mentality. They would stick you somewhere for hours and just forget about you and forget to give you your breaks at the proper time. They were super strict with phone usage and did not like it when you asked to go to the bathroom. A lot of things started to add up and I dreaded going into work every time I had to work. I was thinking about leaving that job because the supervisors just made it a terrible work environment. Luckily I got hired on at the fire department and my National Guard unit deployed around that time so I was able to leave Sam's to go on the deployment and had the job at the fire department lined up for when I returned from the deployment. 3. What I would have done differently is just provided a more relaxed and fun work environment. I wouldn't be so uptight about everything. If my employee needed to use the restroom I would cover their spot for a minute for them to be able to go if I couldn't find another employee to cover for them. If there's no customers in the store I would be ok with my employees checking their phone if they had nothing else to do. I would expect them to put it away when customers are there, but when the store just opened and nobody is there I don't expect my employees to just stare at a blank wall for hours because nobody wants to do that. I would be an approachable supervisor and lead by example.

Discussion #2 (Ryan) 1. I had a bad experience with a supervisor in the supply chain and logistics industry. When I worked under this supervisor, she would confront me about my output, even though I met the minimum productivity requirements of 10% to 12%. However, what happened to my team, and I was that she wanted to stand out from the other supervisors by making her team achieve bonus level work by 20%+ productivity. Even though I would really like to make more money, this supervisor would rather drain me than address problems that our team as a whole genuinely faced when I worked at Frito Lay.

2. Yes, I was employed by Frito Lay, and my boss was the one I had previously described. The main reason I made the decision to go was that, although nothing had improved with this supervisor, things had gotten worse. When I brought up my issues to the Operations Manager, they were ignored.

3. The most important lesson I've learnt from my past and current understanding is that my team dictates my leadership style. A leader that looks out for the team rather than just themselves is what my team looks up to. I would always act, particularly if meeting output targets is necessary. Rather than pressuring my team to meet targets, I would want to find out what their end objective is and how I can best support them in achieving it.
