Please help...OK so I have a problem... I am having a tough time at work. I am not too happy with my new job...well, it is not the job it is my new boss. I have been thinking a lot about what I want to do. I have only been here 4 months. I have been looking into new jobs. But I am not sure what I should do. Because if I decide to leave now there is no way I can ever come back. My boss is not a mean woman she just does not do anything! She gives out work to everyone else and she sits there all day long on the phone or online doing NOTHING! And that pisses me off. I have been coming in early and staying late b/c we are short 2 people and she still does nothing. The other issue I have to consider is that my husband works at the same place. We are not in the same department but I don't want him to start to get treated differently if I do decide to leave. Does anyone have any advice? I will listen to all suggestions. Thanks everyone!

I am not sure that you are going to like my answer... I think you are worrying about the wrong thing, and that ultimately, it isn't really your business what your boss is doing. Yes, yes. I absolutely sympathize. But that's the way it is. The person who should care is the boss of your boss, and somewhere along the line, if your observations are accurate, that might happen. Your observations may not be accurate in any case. But I don't think it matters. Here is what matters...
I hope that helps. Ian Christie Career Changers Coach My first suggestion is to stop worrying about what your boss does or doesn't do. You're not her boss, she is yours. It isn't your job to watch what she does all day, that's HER boss's job. You have no idea what she's doing on the phone or on-line, what she does afterhours at home or anything else. Even if you're right she does nothing, that's NOT YOUR JOB to watch. A 4-5 month stint is not going to help your resume any, so if you change jobs you need to be sure that you can stay put there at least a couple years. If you find something wonderful and want to take it, then great, go and hope you like the new boss better. Otherwise, buckle down, mind your own business and work and stop spending your day being annoyed over things that don't concern you. Tess | |
