What if the boss ...

What if the boss loads you with work?

Often the fact that the bosses are charging usan increased amount of work, we ourselves are to blame. If we do not know how to refuse a boss, we first perform one urgent task, then another, and eventually it becomes the norm. Volumes of work are growing, but the performance is not rubber! So our diligence and conscientiousness turn against us. What to do in this case?

In fact, this situation should be envisaged even with the reception for work - your official duties must be recorded in writing in an official document (job description). If the boss tries to charge you with something that is not part of your responsibilities, you have something to appeal to.

If you are trying to load, to begin with, simply talk to your superiors: it's possible that your boss just can notobjectively evaluate your performance. Calmly tell him that you can not cope with the increased volume, this can help. The boss is not interested in making mistakes in your work because of haste. Overtime can be claimed for compensation.

If you do not get away from extra tasks, ask the boss set priorities for you. When he assigns several tasks, let himwill say which of them is the most important, which is second best, and so on. This will help you to not grasp everything and immediately and more effectively and qualitatively perform all tasks.

What should I do if the boss finds fault?

The quibbles of the chiefs - the problem of many subordinates. It seems that you do everything right, jump out of your head to make the boss happy with your work, and he constantly pokes you with your nose in your mistakes. And if the work is done impeccably, it's finding fault with anything else.

If the boss makes you cavils, keep calm. Often the goal of his behavior is to call yourreaction, make snap back or cry. Therefore it is important to keep cool. But you do not need to ignore the boss with an arrogant manner: better show him that you are ready for cooperation. Ask him for advice: what do you need to do to make your teamwork more effective?

Try to focus on doing yourduty, instead of worrying about another niggling. The more you worry, the more you think about how not to make a mistake, the more mistakes you make, and the more the boss finds fault with you - a vicious circle. Adhere to the principle "Do what you must, and come what may!"

If you have a good friendly team, Look for support from colleagues: they will help you dispel doubts about your professional worthiness, caused by the head's quibbling. And if the boss finds fault with not only you, mutual support is especially important.

In the event that the nagging of the authorities is not directly related to the work, you have every right to give him polite but determined rebuff.

What if the boss bothers?

This problem is more of a concern for women. Even if you personally did not face this problem, then someone from your friends - for sure. The easiest way to cope with the problem is quit and still quit, because it is unlikely that you can after that calmly work in the old place. But the easiest way is not always the most effective.

First, make sure that there really is a problem. For some men, light flirting is simply a communication style, they communicate with all women in this way. Maybe, you are making an elephant fly. But if the chef absolutely accurately gives you unambiguous signs of attention, you need to do something.

Try to dress as little as possible defiantly, to behave in an emphatic manner politely and detached, so that the boss does not have any thoughts that you like what is happening. Sometimes enough politely and tactfully, that the boss does not interest you as a man. The sane man after this should be outdone.

If the underlined distancing and polite conversations do not help, in the course goes "heavy artillery". Someone seems to be talking casually abouta karate husband, or is sent from the authorities to a psychotherapist who helps cope with the consequences of rape, hoping that the chief will not check whether the therapist really exists. And someone carries a included recorder in the purse, and then promises the boss that his wife will know everything.

The "assortment" of problems that the boss can arrange for his subordinates is wide enough, but many of them arise because of mutual misunderstanding, and they can be solved without resorting to dismissal.
