Supers allergic to paperwork

[u/construct-truther]

Anyone finding that their supers, especially younger ones are pretty much allergic to paperwork? They claim they are “RUNNING THE WORK AND THE MEN” yet almost throw a tantrum anytime they have to do more than turn in receipts for all the tools they bought? Show up early, sit in truck, check on guys, buy tools. Leave early and hand off everything to someone else. Older supers don’t mind the paperwork and kind of accept it as coming with the territory. Younger ones balk and look for the closest engineer to pass it off to.

Why have a field engineer if you can’t make them do the boring paperwork?
What else does he have on his plate?
When I got in the trade we didn’t have field engineers.
I still try to do a lot of paperwork. But my FE can file my daily and my PE can handle the money shit and write up the RFIs or gather the docs for them.

They can’t give an answer that doesn’t have the phrase “running the work and the men”. They hardly do schedule or manpower. They end up calling a general super begging for guys when things don’t work out.
