What do you do when your boss plays favorities?

Posted by admin on August 11th, 2010

As always everyone has a favorite person in life especially when it comes to your job profession. What if your boss did liked someone most in the office but not you? What do you do? Of course you always get left behind on the annual reviews and the good projects, assignments that your boss feels you’re not compliable of doing and you feel undervalued despite your efforts. One thing you should do is to step your game up and emulate the employee that your boss favors to. You must be on time to meetings produce better results and go above and beyond your call of duty.  Even though this does not guarantee that your boss will stop playing favorite’s but it’s a good start.

It can also be uncomfortable to be a favorite in the hot seat. You will never get yelled at. You always get the great task to complete.  Your boss will constantly talk about you, which can at times become inappropriate. Although you do have other options to either seek for other employment or confront with your boss, which can be very embarrassing.

Whatever the situation maybe, its important to know what’s best for your career. Your boss playing favorites may not be the best place to work. Talking to your boss about it may do more harm then good. It’s always best to not be stuck in uncomfortable situations.

A GOOD MENTOR CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Posted by admin on August 2nd, 2010

The importance of a good mentor is essential in succeeding in the business world. Many years
ago, a young lady I know, who had a passion for advertising and believed it was the career path
she was destined for. After working at a major advertising firm, she became discouraged due
to feedback that she was getting from her immediate superior at the firm for projects she had
completed. After two years, she was ready to give up advertising, as she felt she wasn’t suited.
However, she had made a good relationship with a supervisor in another area of the company.
He took the time to sit with her and discuss viable alternatives, still within advertising, but that
where more suited to her strengths. He has mentored her over the years and she now owns a
successful advertising firm of her own.
