Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the way that some bosses behave?
One minute make you feel that you are immediately replaceable. The next minute you are considered to be simply irreplaceable and so your recreation leave simply has to be changed to suit 'work requirements'.
Some of us feel the pressure of such changing views and expectations more than others. We can become depressed when we are not valued and angry when we feel that we are being exploited.
The reality is that in the work place everyone has to fend for him/herself. If you truly have expectations that someone higher in the food chain will look after you and care about you then it is most likely that you will experience disappointment.
If you expect the opposite then you can be pleasantly surprised when you actually encounter a boss with the right attitudes to the work place and to the people that they work with.
Stress in the work place is a choice!
When your boss next tells you that you simply HAVE to work overtime or have to delay your holidays or something similar consider what is really going on. While it seems as though the pressure is on you to have to do something, the reality is that the boss is one under pressure to get something to his or her boss and you are simply the pressure valve.
If you have been doing your job properly it is not necessarily your job to bail your boss out of the situation that he/she finds herself in.
Don't choose it!
