MORE TIPS FOR MANAGERS AND BOSSES... besides the ones on your heads.

  1. . Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.
  2. . If it's really a "rush job," run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps.
  3. . Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
  4. . If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books, or supplies, don't open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors with no arms is good training.
  5. . If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. I like guessing games.
  6. . Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do.
  7. . If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. Leaks like that could cost me a promotion.
  8. . If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversation.
  9. . If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with infomation.
  10. . Never introduce me to the people you're with. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.
  11. . Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life.
  12. . Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate.
