I'm always shocked by the them/us imaginary war that lives in the minds of many employees. A good relationship with one's boss is such a huge asset to moving forward. However, I have to remind myself that not everyone wants to advance in their career, which is okay, too. From the little I know about you, it appears you have found success now and will continue to do so in the future. None of that is accidental. You go!Katy Josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504394399778675539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035515932306404722.post-25396133127307985822012-03-05T15:01:17.086-07:002012-03-05T15:01:17.086-07:00I have always, always gotten along with my manager...I have always, always gotten along with my managers. I used to think of this as luck -- I just got lucky with likable managers! But you've made me realize it isn't luck, it's a skill (or, as my ex used to say, "luck is a skill"). Because it's not like everyone I worked with got along with those same managers. Basically I have a good attitude when it comes to authority. I don't look at them and think "In how many and which ways are they out to get me?" I try to make them happy because I assume that's part of the job. In fact, making your manager happy is often the whole job.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270808520581466353noreply@blogger.com
