Work Place Stress

Are you always a “yes” person even though you don’t
want to be?

Everyone knows they can get you to do their jobs for
them. If you are the office gopher and get paid for
that job then you have no problem.

But if you are just shy or don’t know how to say “no”
very well, here are a few things to help you to
say”no” and let people know you mean no.

The first thing is to decide if the person asking you is
important. If it is a boss or someone who can
influence your job, then it is best to say yes. You
can ask for help if needed.

Say your friend Mary ask for your help. You don’t
really have the time but she is your friend. Mary,
you know the one who does more socializing
than work.

Well how improtant is it to you? If you think she
is your friend because you are at her beckon call,
then you need to start saying no to her every
request.

That will give you less work to do. She may not be
your friend anymore but then who needs a friend
that only wants you to do their work.

Trying to work at today’s hectic pace is hard enough
without so called friends who use you for their own
benefit.

Decrease your work load and your Stress will decrease.
