I've been employed for about 10 years now. It has been random with bits and pieces strewn in with a variety of jobs. But essentially it has forever dealt with writing. I say forever as there have been times that have prompted the writer in me to break her silence and administer our set of artistic rules to our bosses.

For one, no one told us that what we write; and by that I mean crisp and categoric writing to be one that may induce insecurity pangs in the hearts and minds of our bosses. I also do not meant to make them feel that age for them in the corporate field is only a number; and that you are as old as you read, appreciate and aid.

I've seen that most often there are 2 things in corporate life that bosses are terribly scared of; that of confidence and silence. If  I may be allowed to air my innate thoughts, let me tell you that these are the 2 things that sum up working life. The minute you remain silent, that very minute the boss will yell in not so many words, as to 'why did you not meet me. Do you think you can hadle this project on your own?'

So despite copious books that you might have read on managing (read as training people to abide by you, a book written for training dogs!!) people, the fact still remains that unless you lick, you know what, you aren't getting anywhere. The bosses know this and because they too have used the same string to get up there, they will expect you to do so under the garb of management skills.

But then you need that bread and butter on your table everyday don't you?

Will think about alternatives soon!

Cheers for now!
