I while back I was promoted to a front line manager job. I was given two weeks of training, mostly how to do the paperwork. I was told that when I got to the field I would shadow someone for a month to learn the actual ins and outs of the job.

I had one session with the mentor, and was then left on my own.

That's the case in most companies.

I could talk for two hours about all the mistakes those folks made and never repeat myself once.

That's why you note everything, everytime you warned them.

Defensive documentation. I employed it recently. I don't want to elaborate on the extremely small chance they would see this.

If it wasn't so true, I'd find it funny. Retirement in 15 years. I so can't wait.

Oh man, I know this is just for funzies, but this hits home. I'm stepping in as an interim next week for a manager who was just removed and I feel like the old manager and team was the victim of this. Fingers crossed I can actually help at this point.
