People can be quite stupid, sometimes, in my opinion.
How come people don’t see the whole picture but, instead, see a less positive side?
So, there’s this guy that is unhappy at work because he feels shut out. He isn’t getting the work he expects. He’s managed to fall out with a lot of people and now, unsurprisingly, they don’t want him involved. And so he gets the cold shoulder.
He expects his ‘skills’ to be enough.
Well, I have news for you, mate. Your skills (unless you are the only person in the world with those skills and they are really necessary) are never enough. You also have to be clever at work. You have to cultivate relationships – even with people you may not like. You have to try and understand these people, work WITH them even if you think they are dorks. No one is ever all-powerful, even if you think they are. You have to be a little more ‘furbo’.
But, from the conversation I had with him, it’s too late now. He’s given up and has resorted to complaining and whining.
No good will come of it. It’s time for him to find another job and as fast as possible before he brings down everyone else.
Sometimes, I’m really glad I’m no longer a ‘boss’.
But you are a boss! You are my boss, you tell me what I have to do and what I should not do…BTW, is someone occupying an office almost in front of the stairs?
Well, firstly, I’m not a boss. I’m not anyone’s boss. I have no power other than the power of persuasion! Anyway, this wasn’t about you. There are several people who occupy an office in front of the stairs
I know that you were not speaking about me! My guess was on one person that I see it is always isolated, now he does not answer to my “hello” and I have never had any discussion with him…
AND
you are a boss. If you tell me to do something, I cannot say “no”.
I’ll call you “boss” now.
OK. Obviously, I don’t know who you are talking about!
No, I’m not. I can ask you to do something but you can say ‘no’ – although, at that point, I would have to go and see the cobra, as you know
If you call me ‘boss’ then I will have to call you ‘Mr Mayor’ all the time
