Stress is part of our lives. but many just live with it
instead of doing something about it.
The work place has lots of stress. If you have a
belligerent boss and you need your job, it seems
necessary for you to live with stress.
When the boss asks you to do a report and you
are swamped, here are a few ways to get some
help with the project.
First if its not your subject area, try to get the
assignment to someone with more knowledge.
You can say, I don’t really know as much about
“X” as John, who is the office expect on that,
or do you think it would be better to use John’s
experience on that subject for the assignment?
You can use this tip for a few times, but be
sure you don’t use this too often or the boss
may see you as someone without any talents.
Another tip, I’m working on assignment,A,B and
C. Do you want me to stop work on them to do
this assignment now? Sometimes the boss may
forget what you have been assigned.
If you don’t know your boss very well you can
say, I’m working on assignment A and B, can I
have John help me? This way you aren’t backing
out, just asking for help.
Some times just asking for help will relief some
of work load and decrease the pressure on you.
