Be Professional Even When Your Boss Isn't

Be Professional Even When Your Boss or the Situation is Not Handled Professionally

How many of you have an unfair boss or co-worker? To be honest I'm sure that each and every one of you has experienced someone who has treated you unfairly. Sometimes these people just don't like you as a person. At other times these people may be intimidated by you and your job skills. You can analyze these areas for yourself.

There are times when we are faced with workplace situations that are unfair and unexpected. A few of the situations that may cause these unexpected circumstances are company mergers, being passed over for promotion for someone less qualified or others in taking credit for your planning and implementation strategies. Some bosses will take advantage of your dedication and willingness to work harder than others are willing to work. In all cases it is important to take the high road and be better than the employer or the circumstance.

I can only say that when you DO NOT let the situation, individual or circumstance overwhelm you, that you will make it through each instance with grace and dignity. As my husband once told me "Don't let them know where you hid your goat". In other words not only did he not want them to "Get my goat" but he did not want them to know where it was!

This is not always easy to do but at the end of the day you can put your head on the pillow knowing no only that you have not compromised your own reputation and that you have also been an example to your co-workers who might also experience these situations.

Basically, remember do the best you can in unfair workplace situations and keep your head up because this situation or experience will pass and something better will happen if you continue to seek the best in yourself and others.
