February 26, 2008Success Story ~ Making the work mangeable
I was overwhelmed from doing two jobs, so I sat down and tried to figure out how I could make it manageable, so I could talk to my manager about it in a way where I seemed like the solution to the problem instead of the problem. I was surprised to realize how many resources I had that I hadn’t continued.
I went in and told them that the long hours and extra work load was going to create a problem. I would be over-tired and I was worried that trying to handle the extra duties and my job would mean I would rush through both and would end up not being the detailed & organized person they expect me to be.
I went on to recommend how some of my workload could be added to different employees. I received a huge thank-you from the President of the company in front of the whole team! And everyone was happy to pitch in and saw the added responsibilities as career opportunities.
I could hug you.
