如何保住你的工作

Unless you’re a long-lost Hilton sister, you’re probably worried about the economy (and staying employed). This advice from Leonard Lauder, who has managed thousands of people as chairman of the Estee Lauder Companies, can help keep you off the firing line.

Focus on Your Job, Not the Clock

“If the hours are till 5:00, don’t be on the elevator at five o’clock every day,” says Lauder. “That sends a signal that you don’t like your work―or have enough of it. ” And let the boss’s schedule guide yours: “If you always arrive after her and then leave before her at night, don’t blame your lack of progress on the economy,” he points out.

Be one Step Ahead of Your Boss

These days, says Lauder, it’s important to find ways of making your supervisor see that you’re indispensable. “Bragging can be a turnoff,” he notes. “But there are subtle ways to get noticed. If the boss asks you to do something and you say, ‘I’ve already done that,’ you send a good signal.”

Try Some Good Old Charm

It’s easy to forget when you’re super-busy or stressed. “Say please and thank you,” urges Lauder. “Have good humor. Bring laughter rather than complaints. The more difficult the times, the more you have to smile. You can’t afford to be grouchy.”

除非你是希尔顿失散多年的妹妹，否则你一定要为经济状况（以及如何保住你的职业）担心。莱昂纳多・兰黛作为雅诗・兰黛公司的主席管理数千人，他的建议可以帮助你远离被解雇的风险。

关注你的工作，而不是时间

“如果下班时间是5点钟，请不要每天在这个钟点出现在电梯里（准备下班），”兰黛说，“这样表明你不喜欢你的工作，或者说厌倦了你的工作。”他指出要以老板的日程表为指引：“如果你总是比老板来得晚，晚上却比老板走得早，就不要抱怨自己的薪金没有增加。”

比老板快一步

兰黛说，目前重要的是让你的主管知道你是不可缺少的人。“吹牛只会让人厌烦，”他解释道，“但是可以通过聪明的办法让他了解。如果老板要求你做某件事，而你说,‘我已经完成了’，那么你就为自己创造了一个好形象。”

保持传统的优良品质

当你非常忙或者压力很大的时候，就会很容易忘记说“请”和“谢谢”。兰黛说，“要有幽默感。欢笑多于抱怨。越是困难的时候就越要微笑。发牢骚无济于事。”
