I just called my boss twice for something that I could have figured out on my own…. HELP he always tells me that I have to be a self-started more and figure it out on my own without calling him….and I just did it twice in a row! I just wasnt thinking and he is not the type to forget it so fast!
Tell him even a self-starter needs training.
Take two deep breaths before reaching for the phone. That will give you a chance to not react immediately but stop and think for a second. You can also ask yourself “what would the boss do, what would the boss say?” Try to stay one step ahead.
Do you have a co-worker you could ask for help instead?
(thinking about it, you obviously don’t otherwise you would have asked them)
use is as a learning experience instead of beating yourself up.
adorable
Try to forget about. It’s over. Just next time try to think before you ask if this is something that he can assist you with or not.
Now, what’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?
You got that right..it’s a nebach on him.
that’s really true!
i feel the same way! why don’t bosses make you feel needed? i would work much harder for him and more willingly knowing that he is pleased with my work! he never shows any appreciation! it’s so frustrating!
adorable, in that case you know you can’t rely on him or count on him. You can only rely on yourself so forget about him. If you can’t give an answer on the spot just tell the client you will have to research it and get back to them. That’s all you can do. Then work on it and get back to them. That’s it, thats the best ANYONE can do. YOU are not superhuman and no one can expect you to be.
Obviously your boss knows that HE is NOT superman because he has to hire all this help to get the job done. Right? Learn from that.
