“YOUR BOSS IS NOT YOUR FRIEND” MAN LEARNS IT THE HARD WAY

My boss is not my friend

Advertisements

Feel demotivated lately. Even with an excellent bonus and a just ok performance review.

I forgot that my boss thrives on being cultivated with public praise even when he does not remove obstacles in my path (or even adds to my them). I am disappointed that basic stuff that my boss is supposed to do has been “forgotten” and I have to scramble and chase people so it can happen

The most benign reason is that he is probably too swamped to do so. Or he thinks there is no penalty if he doesn’t do it (for who would complain, and I’m more junior than he is). Or that he is taking advantage of people (because sometimes he almost proudly tells me how he takes advantage of people). And maybe I am too naive because I need to play politics better.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Am i reading the post wrong? You say you have to work harder than your boss and is unhappy… but yet your performance review is okay but your bonus is very good? You flexing issit? That you are a good worker with deep pockets haha. Definitely not a team player for sure. Wah lao.. thats why he is a boss and you are the staff..what you describe is a norm leh. We are hired to support leh otherwise need staff for what? We slave then they take credit.. one day you will move up and also do the same haha.
  • Manager is not hired to do your job, he is hired to coach/train the team and to make strategic plan to steer the team to success.
  • Excellent bonus always trumps ‘just ok performance review’. Your boss sux but pay is good? Easy la! Your ‘problem isn’t even a problem’ Remove the boss which should not be hard or move to another company for 25% increase in pay!!
  • Workplace politics.. u have to be smart la. If not, will be taken for a ride 4 sure.
