After walking out on his first job over differences with his boss, he got lucky. Answering an ad for an entry-level job with the Illinois Bell Telephone Company put his life on track. Following a process seldom seen today, he rose through the ranks from lineman to “lower middle management” over thirty-two years. He is eminently qualified by experience (he has only a high school education) to guide you through the real telephone company.
Some of the stories Chuck tells are personally embarrassing, most are funny, some are sad, but all are true. He tells of struggles with his bosses and his antics with fellow technicians. Later in his career, Chuck is the boss and has the inside from several levels of management. The company policies and procedures that were creatively ignored or applied, and the sometimes dangerous antics that happed in the field and the office are depicted from Chucks personal point of view. This book should be required reading in all management 101 courses. It is an eye-opener to what really happens after the formal management training is applied. Along with the laughs will be a few “been there” moments. I guarantee you will think differently the next time you call for the telephone man.
Chuck Lives in Channahon, Illinois, with his wife, Linda, the mother of his seven children. Those seven have given him nineteen grandchildren and a huge Christmas gift bill. When not writing, Chuck enjoys home building, remodeling, and riding his Harley.view less
