The supervisor came into the area told the Controller in Charge (CIC) to start the briefing and walked away. The CIC started the briefing and the supervisor walked to a different sector; watched it for a minute; then walked over to the printer; looked at the strips; put them in the strip box then casually walked back to The CIC who was nearly done with his briefing. I was at a sector and could barely hear the CIC giving his briefing so there was no way the Supervisor could hear it from across the room. What is the point of giving a relief briefing if no one hears it?If controllers have to be present for relief briefings then shouldn't supervisors have to too?
A Controller observed a Supervisor walk away from the Controller-in-Charge while the Controller-in-Charge was giving the Supervisor a position relief briefing.
