<p>mcat2 - The quote below was taken from wjb’s post with the link to the NY Time article:</p>
<p>“Mr. Russell and other technicians said Mr. Clark had significant authority in his position… He estimated there were about 200 employees in two dozen animal labs at Yale, and that supervisors, particularly Mr. Clarks, DID NOT HAVE TIME to get involved in the day-to-day operations of the labs.”</p>
<p>The supervisor entrusted Clark with more responsibilities probably due to the fact that he was CLEAN, ORGANIZED, and RELIABLE. However, those responsibilities were not originally part of his job description. You know how often this happen in workplace.</p>
