WORK DILEMMAS

#1. Your Boss Quits or is Fired The boss who always sung your praises to higher-ups and made sure your projects were successful is leaving, and you’re worried that her replacement won’t share her (or your) vision—or that she just won’t be as pleasant to work with.

WORK DILEMMAS

#2. You’re Overwhelmed With Work Your workload has gone up dramatically from what it used to be, you feel you need to pick between getting everything done or getting things done well, and even bathroom breaks stress you out, you probably need to talk with your manager about your workload.

WORK DILEMMAS

#3. The Job You Have is Different From the One You Applied For You were hired to manage sales, but you end up managing spreadsheets. Or your “marketing director” job turns out to be little more than making cold calls to prospects. It might not have been a deliberate bait-and-switch, but the work sure isn’t what you were told in the interview.

WORK DILEMMAS

#4. You Keep Running Into Conflict With a Difficult Co-worker You’ve tried to be nice, but every conversation with him devolves into disagreement and strife, which makes it hard to get shared projects done—and considering that we spend one-third of our waking time with co-workers, you’d like more harmonious relations.

WORK DILEMMAS

#5. You’ve Made a Major Mistake That Truly Harmed Your Team You’re human and you’ll make mistakes now and then, but when it’s high-profile (like a damaging quote in a news article) or costly (like losing a major account), it can be hard to know how to face your boss.

WORK DILEMMAS

#6. Your Co-worker Takes Credit for Your Work You just overheard your co-worker taking credit for a presentation you worked all night on or accepting praise for winning an account you spent months cultivating. You don’t know if she’s deceptive or just oblivious, but either way she’s hogging the limelight for work you did.
