老板不想告诉你的11件事情

1. The company is in trouble

There are rumors of redundancies and tough financial times ahead. Until things are really dire, we’re likely to remain tight-lipped.

2. I’m busy worrying about me, not you

We’re busy doing our own job, so if you need help, training or support, you have to let us know. “Take responsibility. The best advice I ever received was manage up,” says recruitment manager.

3. Dress to impress

Just because the workplace has a casual dress code, it doesn’t mean you should dress like a slob. If you speak with firm command, you will be seen as authoritative and if you arrive early and act keen, you’ll be perceived as a hard worker. So dress, act and talk for the position you want, not the one you’re in.

4. You’re too keen

Just as bad as lazy workers are the painfully over-eager ones. We don’t want to spend time listening to your wild plans to improve the company or find extra projects for you to work on.

5. Your best career move is not in my interest

You may be well and truly ready for a step up the company ladder, but if you are excelling in your current position, we’d probably prefer it if you stayed exactly where you are. “Make sure you create your own succession plan,” says Justin Babet.

6. You smell

We detest having to pull an employee aside and tell them there have been complaints made about this scent. Remember the deodorant and avoid making us, or your colleagues, feel awkward.

7. Solutions not problems

Don’t come marching into my office with a problem if you haven’t got any suggestions about how to fix it. That’s called whinging. “If you truly want change, come prepared with some ideas” says Babet.

8. You deserve a pay rise

If you feel you are due more money or a promotion, be proactive and ask for it. Don’t wait around for us to pat you on the back and make the offer. It’s not going to happen.

9. You run your personal life from your desk

We will rarely pull you aside if you are always on Facebook, eBay or the phone organising your personal life, but do you honestly think we don’t notice? Rest assured we do!

10. Stand your ground

Don’t let people dump work on you. If you can delegate and are capable of being assertive, we’ll be impressed and you as management potential. Respect is more important than popularity.

11. You should resign

Do you feel like you’ve hit a dead end in your current position? Unless you are seriously underperforming, don’t wait for us to show you the door.

1. 公司面临危机

尽管之前传言公司出现严重的财务困难，可能要裁员，但我们仍会守口如瓶，除非事情到了紧急关头。

2. 我在担心我而不是你

手头的工作已让我焦头烂额，因此你如果需要我的帮助、支持或想出去培训学习，你必须让我知道。“要有责任心。我得到的最好的建议是向上一级领导反映情况，”从事招聘的经理说。

3. 衣着得体

工作场所普遍穿着随意，那并不意味着你可以衣装邋遢。说话别带命令口吻，否则，别人会觉得你在装腔作势。如果你提前上班且工作热情，老板会认为你工作勤恳。因此衣着、谈吐、做事要与你想要的职位而不是现有的职位相称。

4. 你太性急

过度性急的人和懒惰的人一样让人讨厌。你想为公司出谋划策或为自己找一套工作方案，但我们没有时间来听你的漫无边际的计划。

5. 你想升职，我没兴趣

为了获得职务上的升迁，你可能做好了充分的准备。但如果你在目前的岗位上出类拔萃，我们可能希望你原地不动。“想方设法创造你自己的升迁计划，”贾斯丁・鲍比特如是说。

6. 你身上气味难闻

我们不情愿把员工单独叫到一边，告诉他其他员工抱怨他身上气味难闻。记得使用除臭剂，不要让我和你的同事感到难堪。

7. 要拿出解决办法而不要提出问题

遇到问题但没有解决方案时，不要跑到我的办公室来。那样是在发牢骚。“如果你真心想有所革新，准备好想法后再来。”鲍比特说。

8. 你值得涨薪水

你感到你应该加薪或升职，主动提出要求来，不要等我们表扬你后提出。那种事情不会发生。

9. 你在办公桌上干私事

你总是在浏览Facebook，eBay，或用办公电话聊私事，我们很少把你叫到一边，但你真的认为我们没注意到吗？明确告诉你，我们注意到了。

10. 坚持自己的立场

不要让人把事交给你指挥。如果你有把握一切，我们会留意你的，认为你有管理潜能。尊重别人比受其他人欢迎更重要。

11. 你应该辞职

你感到在目前的工作岗位上没有前途了吗？除非你特别不称职，不要等着我们来炒你的鱿鱼。
