Day in and day out, the supervisor is the face of the company. Some workers will spend more time with their supervisor on a workday basis than they will with their own spouse or children. Supervisors can have a tremendous impact on workers, both good and bad. Poor relationships with a supervisor, therefore, can lead workers to seek relief elsewhere—through the perceived protection of a union representative, for example.
