A: please send this memo out to all the managerial staff…there will be training for all the department heads next week. Attendance for managerial staff is mandatory, except for the financial department. Financial officers may participate if their schedules allow.
B: you would like me to send this to all managerial staff? I'm sorry, sir, could you please clarify? Who all is included in managerial staff?
A: managerial staff is anyone who is in a position of authority or responsibility, or who has anyone working under them. It includes all supervisors and department heads.
B: what about the senior account managers? Do they count?
A: no, they are in a position of leadership and have more experience than normal account managers, but they do not directly supervise others. They are not members of the managerial staff and will not be included in our training.
