I sure agree with your "he is being stuck in the middle, supervising others without that much compensation. They give him a title to make him feel good. Wears off after awhile." And I agree he should do something about. Do you see a difference between your 1st line "he should speak up" and "make it a living hell"?

You said, "Now, of course, if job security is top priority here then he shouldn't cause too much of a ruckus." I don't think either you or I can tell him what his priorities should be, but, we can help him think through what he will do. That's why the board.

Tommy, I'm curious, why didn't you say anything about the idea of working with other supervisors? Do you think he can make more of a difference by being a 1 person hell-raiser?

: I definitely think he should speak up he's been there for years! I also think that if he doesn't no one will. But, as was said before, he is being stuck in the middle, supervising others without that much compensation. They give him a title to make him feel good. Wears off after awhile. That's why he should raise hell

: : Couldn't your "living hell get John fired? Wouldn't getting all the supervisors together work better? Tell me why you think a one person hell-raising crusade would get him over-time money?
