Six signs that you may be
"Hard to Manage"
Are you a
“difficult employee”? Your answer to that question is
probably a resounding “no” – but would your manager
agree? You may assume that you would know if your boss
held this view, but managers often fail to tell
employees what they’re thinking. However, they may
freely share their opinions with others. Getting a
reputation for being “hard to manage” can definitely
limit your career. To see if you’re guilty of
“unmanageable” behaviors, check out this week’s

Why was
no one else laid off?
Q.
I was recently let go from a position
that I held for 25 years. I was told that the corporate
office would be broken up and the entire company
restructured. But three months later, my layoff is the
only move that has been made.
My job
performance and work ethic were much better than many of
my coworkers’. I also had seniority over people who
still hold positions with the company. I feel that I
have been singled out and would like to present some
questions about my layoff to the owner.
Since I have not yet found another job, however, I’m
afraid that confronting the owner might damage the
reference he would give to prospective employers.
Should I forget my questions entirely or at least until
I have secured employment elsewhere?
