Today with you have an employee you are luckly. Therefore is important know how to preserve it mainly if it is new. I agree with some points on the text. Appearance is important, try to solve the problems first without your boss, thinks about a solution and only after requests help and give your opinion in meetings.
ResponderExcluirI think these clues are really helpful and very useful. I do agree with all of the advices and think that in every place it is better to be ourselves and take care of our behaving. Paying attention in what we are saying and listening and also avoiding gossips are important observations in our work atmosphere. I believe that as time goes by our colleagues will know who we really are and our well-done work will prove that we are great professionals. I don’t think people prove they are good being smarmy with bosses.
