'Only go out and plow if I tell you to': County road supervisor makes a snowy mistake during morning rush hour

This new boss was surprised that some older employees knew better than he did. That was hardly a surprising outcome to the employees, but new managers often feel like they have to make a good impression by bossing everyone around. After all, if they're hired to lead, they think that the most visible way to demonstrate that is to make changes to their workplace immediately. In reality, if they just spent a few minutes talking to their most dedicated employees, they'd probably find out which changes would make the biggest impacts. 

This malicious story concerns the folks who wake up very early in the morning to plow snow from the roads. It's a very important job—this determines if school buses will be able to get kids to school, not to mention all of the people who need to drive to work. Of course, these workers don't always get the appreciation they deserve. By the time most people are awake, the roads are starting to be cleared. (Also, no one likes getting stuck behind the salt truck as it flings salt all over the roads… but that's beside the point.)
