Chem395:Acme Lab Manager

Bob Johnson has been with the company since 1993, having worked at the original plant (now closed). He is responsible for developing the TAC process, which now provides a large portion of the company’s income. Bob hates having to go to meetings, as he would rather be working in the lab. However, having been manager for five years, he has begun to accept that sometimes he needs to be involved, and he grudgingly accepts that the safety improvements and ISO 9001 have brought some benefits. He is also becoming interested in “green chemistry,” as the challenge of designing processes that are safer appeals to his inquisitive nature. He is a good friend of Chris (production manager) who is another one of the “old guard” of long-time employees. He can be rather critical of Jesse (environmental manager).
