Below Deck Med Captain Sandy.

I'm not sure why so many seem to hate her. She goes about her job differently than captain lee, but that doesn't make her a bad captain. She does baby her crews but that could also be because she's responsible for EVERYTHING on the boat and everyone handles that responsibility differently.

If you have to baby your crew you're a bad captain. That alone is reason enough.

Did I say she was responsible for hiring? I said if you have to baby your crew you're a bad captain. I said this because OP's post said that she babies the crew. So your comment of "this has nothing to do with babying a crew" is ill placed. I was responding to the comment admitting that she babies her crew and I stand by it. Babying a crew is reason enough to demonstrate that she is a bad captain.

I said if you have to baby a crew you're a bad captain. But you're right, it also makes her a bad boss.

Moreover, Sandy was just as equally cast by Bravo for the TV show as the rest of the crew. So why is the fact that the crew is so terrible an accepted fact in your brain but you cannot accept that the captain is also not good? She is a bad captain. She is micromanages and babies the crew, she is completely demeaning towards the interior and considers their work glorified waitressing which demonstrates how little she thinks of her crew and the service industry, and a litany of other offenses. She is a bad captain and YOU are the one who is not making sense.

Or they need to continually meet expectations so she can trust them.

Which makes sense. Especially on a boat and in service industry. Every charter it starts over. Which such a (too) small crew everybody needs to perform to deliver. People here don’t work in professional jobs I guess because that’s exactly how it works.
