What to Do When the Boss is Out of the Office

It also depends on the type of boss you have and if there if favoritism in the office or "office politics", etc. Many employees continue to do their work and follow the same routine when their boss is absent, because of their work ethic, and it goes unnoticed; while others will slack off, take extra time at lunch, come in late, leave early, and nothing will be said. That in itself can and will cause discord in any office and some bosses act or seem oblivious to the employees who are doing such, while the employee/employees who function and perform as expected every day, with or without the bosses presence, are too often ignored. It seems that having a work ethic and accountability these days are no longer appreciated as before; the squeaky wheel gets the oil, no matter what made it rust! Negligence, lack of responsibility, accountability, you name it, they will get rewarded, if they CRY loud enough, and I'm talking about both Males and Females here!

ummmmmm........learn to speak and write English.....that might help you!

It does sounds more good of what can really happen on real time since most of these new wave bosses do not appreciate it. It can set you up in more problems overall as if something "goes wrong" them is on you, even if it did mean to be that way, I did tried that and didn't worth it, believe you me!

I attend to my work load when the boss is not in the office. I stay organized and complete as much of my work as possible and have always volunteered to do more if need be.

Jealousy is a huge problem when you start out young in the position of Senior Executive Assistant and work with people approximately twenty years older that have to go through you to get to your boss. If you don't have time to socialize during the work day because you are busy with your job, then they complain you are unapproachable or unfriendly. These individuals have no idea what responsibilities are expected of you and what your life is like outside the office as well. I had ALL the responsibilities mentioned in the article. I never had problems with my CEOs but they could not handle the constant complaining from these upper management individuals. It got to the point where I would become violently sick and tired during the work day. It eventually caused me to leave my job and I have spent the last three years trying to get healthy.

u will usually foster jealous relationships in the office as well, if you try to do too much all the time, or if it is noticeable that you are always working hard, witnessed it many times, early on in life, in my 20's, she is one of the few and probably because she forms clicks acting political, and smiling big here, but possibly being not very nice to everyone, in real life.

Humanitarian Leadership is required these days to foster positive working relations

Whether your boss is "in" or "out," if you start each day with the goal of making your company look good, the only possible outcome is that you will be productive and foster positive relationships with everyone you encounter.

I have always believed that no individual can force someone to perform well. Only you can decide to be effective and that desire hopefully stems from striving to be a better person, the passion to learn and grow and the willingness to help your peers. Bosses that cultivate an environment of growth and passion will have much more success than those that demand it.
