I was recently reading Reader's Digest Singapore's version when I stumble across this article,
"11 Things Your Boss Won't Tell You". These are my fave 5:
1. The company is in trouble-There are rumours of redundancies and tough financial times ahead. Until things are really dire, we're likely to remain tight-lipped.
2.Solutions not problems-Don't come marching into my office with a problem if you have't got any suggestions about how to fix it. That's called whinging, "If you truly want change, come prepared with some ideas".
3.You deserve a pay rise-If you feel you are due more money or a promotion, be proactive and ask for it. Don't wait around for us to pat you on the back and make the offer. It's not going to happen.
4.You run your personal life from your desk-We will rarely pull you aside if you are always on Facebook,eBay or the phobe organising your personal life, but do you honestly think we don't notice? Rest assured we do!
and, finally
5. You should resign-Do you feel like you've hit a dead end in your current position? Unless you're seriously underperforming, don't wait for us to show you the door.
