Mostly, the Project Manager has the responsibility but has no authority in project management. As a result, The PM needs great support from his/her Manager to push his or her work. However, as the PM, sometimes, needs to manage the team members from different departments, the PM sometimes give GM the impression that he or she has tendency to replace the GM, this phenomenon is particularly obvious for the PM in Engineering in the mini. size Matrix Organization. In this situation, the GM with rich experience will understand that this is the PM’s duty and will support PM strongly with very open mind. Yet, it would be only the marige for the PM to get this kind of unbelievable support if the GM is not tolerant enough, or maybe he is oversensitive. Even worse, if the GM is a rookie to the organization, possibly the PM can be the one for the GM to punish as a warning to other Managers.

I almost was the one who was centesimated by the new GM in 2008. The new GM came to work in July and he beat me down to the hell right away when he arrived at office. He said the new plant project I handled was rubbish and he stopped my other project regarding the new facility without having the replacement, it directly resulted that I could not get the rest of work done for the new building according to my initiated plan. Although the new plant was using and is using now, however, it is definitely not a nice place to work.
