nothing's in place...?

Hi frens,
I am sure all of us have felt this many a times in our day to day happenings that NOTHING'S in RIGHT Place ....or at least most of the things dont fall into right places .Whatever happens does not happen quite the way we want it to be.
Lets try to make this situation a bit better if we can.Lets say you try howsoever hard to keep your boss happy,it turns out he is annoyed even at the sight of you.This is a tough situation since workplaces define a major portion of our lives these days and it becomes even tougher when your so called BOSS is continously trying to crucify you for the silliest of errors in that "not so important report" or lets just say make your life hell.
What do we do in this seemingly impossible situation?
The answer lies within us .We just have to search it with a Calm and composed head and lots of water because believe it friends,drinking water when your mind goes blank and you are out of ideas or you are feeling jittery ,does help a lot.
So what is the answer to the above helpless situation actually?
Does humiliating your boss in public the way he does ,help? NO..you may get yourself stuck in a total mess and go home with a pink slip in your hand.
Does ignoring him completely and avoiding his presence help? NO..He may notice this and take it as an egoist move .
Does nodding your head affirmatively at WHATSOEVER he says and follow his words like a court's summon,help?NO again...he may think you are a sycophant and don't have your own mind to take decisions .

Ok..So what is the trick that is going to help "poor you" ?Chuck this current blood-sucking job and seek another?NO...because that is the LAST option one should rely on.But sadly though,all of us think of it as the very first option.
We will look into some of the other ways to get back your tarnished repute.

The first and foremost step that one should care about starts in your cubicle ,it is your very own WORK that you are assigned to do.You have to start being really really careful and even is it is not perfect it should be very near to that,so that there is no chance of anyone pointing fingers at it.This will take a while for your boss to galp down his throat but slowly you will succeed in assuring him that you are a person he can count on when it comes to work.

The second thing that we should all keep in mind what the old saying goes"the boss is always right".I dont say blindly follow that but we should avoid negating anything that the boss says in public and IF we MUST correct something he said at the meeting ,we should watch our words carefully so that it appears that you are indeed trying to help him,or if possible correct him in person not in public.

The third option is a more humanitarian approach to the problem.It may not suit people who have gathered a lot of rancor for their boss which is hard to get rid of,because this requires shedding all your ego at workplace.Try to understand your colleagues not just your boss.Remeber to maintain your self-esteem while respect others' too.If you are a person who does not like socialising much,you need to open up to your colleagues just a little bit ,help them in a report or two,and it may work wonders for your reputation at workplace.

There are many other ways and ideas to implement upon and go home feeling contented about your workplace.Share more of them right here at this open discussion,as we are eager to listen to more and more ideas like these and help people grow in not only the workplace but also in equally tough situations that they face in life .



Bye Pals,
