Alex. Valdemar, The troubled manager #31 [Icarus - International run]

Interpretato da: S. J.

Toggle Work Group description

“We bear the burden of leading and caring”


Within the Kowmang Mining Kowlective, the recruitment process for managers is more than a good practice, is something to be proud of. The company is always looking for highly qualified and specialized managers, but also allows employees who prove their skills, values and commitment to the company to climb up the ladder and gain a top spot.
Managers run the shift schedule, perform reviews to examine who might get promoted or demoted and solve any problems that might arise among the employees.
They are tasked with running the station and keep the operations smooth, productive and as profitable as possible, but without ever forgetting that Kowmang deeply cares for its workers and Icarus must be kept a friendly living environment.
The hardest task is probably working in close contact with the Commissions sent by Earth and Mars, who are supposed to cooperate with the company to avoid any jurisdiction issues.

DEDICATION - LEADERSHIP - VISION - PURPOSE

Teaser:

You may have privileges and a higher wage, but managing the entire station is no easy job: it means carrying a load of responsibilities on your shoulders that others can't even imagine.
A. Valdemar is the shift's Lead Manager and had to learn the hard way that this position is more about burdens than it is about honors. Mining and exploring radioactive areas may be hazardous and physically risky, but responsibilities and duties can cause such stress to the mind that one's life is at high risk as well - and Valdemar knows this very well, having personally been on the brink of a nervous breakdown for some time now.
Responsibilities can be overwhelming, and if you're not prepared or resilient enough, they can break you. It happened to Valdemar in the past once already, and it led to the easiest avalable solution: booze. Alcohol-induced dizziness has been an escape and a lifesaver, until it got Valdemar an official reprimand for drunkenness on duty. Another one followed recently, and now Valdemar is resolute in staying away from the bottle, since there surely won't be a third warning. Keeping sober and, at the same time, being friendly and amiable is something Valdemar isn't ready to manage, at least not yet.

Relations:

Relates very well to Gallo  . There's some sort of strange respect between Valdemar and Linder  , while Soyinka   is a ''well-wala'' and that's enough: Valdemar doesn't trust ''traitors'' at all. Often talks with Szyslack  . Well-disposed towards Claymore  . Guerrero   is an old friend from Ceres.
Doesn't like the way Anders   behaves and works, sparks fly when the two talk. Elliot   is starting to be a pain in the ass, as the Earther is growing obsessed with OPA getting a foothold on Icarus.
