Make use of your boss as a resource to learn how to do your job.  Carry a notepad with you and after you ask them a question, WRITE IT DOWN.  This way you'll be able to refer to it and not annoy them by having to ask them again.\n\nAlso, try to figure out (either by asking or talking to co-workers) what you boss's major priorities and biggest problems are.  Then make sure you adopt a strategy that makes you useful to your boss in tackling those priorities.

Aww don't worry about it .  Just remember your boss didn't become a boss by sitting in one branch stagnating. Even if she is annoyed, it will simply be because you are a good worker, she will still understand you have to move on for your own career. Ignore the idiot above. ;)  Good luck!

My boss gives me full reign to handle my department as I see fit but it's because I keep him in the loop on everything that's important. I inform him (them really, two share the position) when something is going on or when I suspect trouble somehow. And I always do my research to be sure I give him the right answer when he needs something from me. Also, I always give him the credit if something comes up, say in a meeting, that we have previously talked about. I try to always make him (them) look good. And he (they) do the same for me. I've known them both for years and we've been in the trenches together.\nFinal point, I always lighten things up with a little appropriate humor. A little inside humor can really ease a difficult situation but that may not work well for everyone.\n And understand that it's just a job. Life goes on beyond the office. We do our best at work but we are all human too. My boss knows that and he (they) enjoy my efficiency and thoroughness, but a little tasteful and appropriate humor every now and then too. But again, that may not work for everybody.

1. ALWAYS REMBER TO HAVE FUN (Yes, you can be the boss and have fun. Burnt out people lose there grip on things) \n\n2. Don't let you position go to your head. (No one want a bossy that think that they a God)\n\n3. don't ask your staff to do something that you won't do yourself.( once they see you do it  once they will gladly do it)\n\n\n4.Be firm and never waver from it.( Yes, be understanding and compassionate but firm if your staff see weakness they will take advantage of it)\n\n5. If you have question always ask. ( It is better to be safe than sorry.

fourbytwo pretty much nailed it! I was a new team leader to my brand new team of 10 contact centre advisers and was terrified!! but 3 years later I have all the same staff (very unusual in contact centre!) by not doing the 'do as I say, not as I do' thing.. lead by example and always promote the positive and coach the negative. Offer alternatives,not just 'this is wrong - sort it'. Stay human  - you were once in their shoes.. how did you want to be managed? stay true to yourself and don't be a tw*t and you'll gain respect. Finally nobody does anything unless it suits them - point out how it would further their career to be seen to take the initiative, or at least ensure they get their performance related pay!!

This is a complicating situation because when you first start a new job, you basically have to talk with people like that in order to get accepted. Over time, though, it gets old and like you said, you have to work. \n\nI would talk with them at lunch, stick my head in on them at breaks and after work. Just so they know that you are not acting snobby and still want to be their friends.\n\nBe sure and make a comment like " I have so much work to do because so and so has me doing all sorts of stuff." That way, you are 1. Gossiping 2. letting them know why you haven't been around lately 3. making pre-excuses for the next day when you really don't have time to stick your head in and say hello. 4. Taking the attention off of you an putting it on someone else.\n\nYou should discuss this with your boss and let her know that you want to give 100% to your job but if she needs you for anything, just to let you know. She will be amazed at how dedicated you are and make her open her eyes to the others that talk too much and get little done.\n\nGood Luck!

Just let her rant and rave. I'm sure you're doing an excellent job, so keep it up. Show your boss through your deeds that you are a valuable employee, and you have nothing to worry about. If your boss wants to confide in you, they will. Until then, do your job to the best of your ability and let that womans voice just drift off into the background. Every work place has them....unfortunately.

The best advice I can offer is to lead by example and get your employees to want to work for you. Remember, employees are not there to help their boss, the boss is there to help the employees.

I would ask your boss to elaborate a little more of what's expected.  As for teambuilding and knowledge, why not see if you can attain a special speaker who could share some words of encouragement related to your company.  You may also consider googling "team building games" or something like that and organize some sort of fun event.

Workload - write down everything you do/need to do, and dedicate time to each one. Plan what to do. Talk to your boss - they should be able to help.\n\nOffice politics - very difficult. Don't commit comments on people.\n\nLearn some disarming phrases. For a newbie, phrases like "Oh, thanks for the warning, I'll look out for that." when people are talking bad about others are good, then quickly change the subject. As you mature into the job, don't be frightened of saying things like "Well, I've never had a problem with them, to be honest".\n\nDo NOT get involved in any massive slagging sessions, no matter how tempting. It can all come back to you.\n\nDon't get upset if someone doesn't like you. Just realise they aren't worth it. Get on with your job, forget about them, worrying about them won't do your career any good.\n\nDon't be afraid of reporting anyone if you feel they are making your work difficult or unpleasent. If you show you are tough and won't stand for nonesense from the start, it'll pay off in the long run.\n\nI'd rather be called names than be a patsie to everyone at work.

Tell your new boss you have to finish out your time because it's the right thing to do.  They should admire you for that.\n\nIf not then tell your old boss that you're going to lose the other job and that you are sorry to let the down.\n\nJust be honest.  Don't look for excuses or sneaky ways to get out of it.

Try to figure out what you can do to make yourself more interesting to the boss. Take classes, join clubs with good reputations, and volunteer both at work and out of work. if those things don't get you a better poistion with your current employer your have a lot of things to put on your new resume for the next job.

It depends. Do you want to keep your current job, but have an attractive offer that makes it tough? Then schedule a time to have a private conversation with your boss. Tell him/her that you've been happy at this company and would like to stay. However, you're ready for a new challenge and  an opportunity has presented itself. You'd prefer to stay if they can offer something similar. Give them a few days to work it out. If they can give you a comparable offer, you can stay and reap the benefits. \n\nOr are you ready to leave your current job for the new offer and you've made that decision? Then, write a formal letter of resignation as soon as possible. Its customary to give at least two weeks notice for many jobs in the US. Next, sit down with your boss in a private place and give him/her the letter in person. Tell him/her respectfully that you've found a compelling opportunity and have decided its time to move on. Be honest and straightforward. You don't need to say too much if it makes you uncomfortable.

I used to work for a person like this.  You can prepare all the e-mails and action lists you want, but it's very difficult to get the person to read them and make decisions.\n\nMy recommendation is to try and schedule time with this person, AWAY from his desk (so you'll get his full attention) and let him know that the office help position needs to be replaced.  Try to give concrete examples of the times that projects have fallen through the cracks due to lack of support and project management.  We all know it's HIS lack of project management, but you might use the passive voice here to avoid offending him.\n\nNext you need to make up an action plan with him, on how he wishes to handle situations like that in the future. This way, you will not be blamed for mishandling things if you're following what you both agreed to.  Try to write up a summary of what you decide at this meeting (bulleted, keep it brief!) so you can refer to it later if necessary, and give him a copy.  Unfortunately, it is very unlikely this person will become organized in your lifetime, and if you can help bring a little structure and order to his office, he may appreciate you more than you know.  Just talk to him to find out how you can be a better employee.  This will guarantee your job, since you're showing a good "problem-solver" attitude instead of complaining.  Good luck with this, I know it's difficult to work in this environment!

always be professional, that way they can never complain about you.\n(always be in a position in which you're covered.)\n\nSpeak to your immediate boss about it, see if she can't first talk to the co-workers about it. \n\nAlso check out a book called "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work."

If you've had a good relationship with your bosses, I'd say give them as much notice as you can.  They will appreciate it and so will the others in the office who will end up doing your job if  someone new isn't in place by the time you leave.  You're leaving anyway, so why not give them a break?

it appears your close to your boss.  what i would do is have lunch with her, or just talk with her... and let her know your situation... tell her that you found another job.  then tell her what you like about that other job... then tell her why its hard leaving your current job... then tell her what you like about the job you currently have.  if you do this in order, it will put her in a positive mental frame of mind and you wont need to worry about upsetting or leaving people that you got to know.
