What To Do When Your Boss Messes with Your Workload

What To Do When Your Boss Messes with Your WorkloadWhat To Do When Your Boss Messes with Your WorkloadWhat To Do When Your Boss Messes with Your WorkloadHeres a scenario Your babo emails you about a project she wants to hand over to you, one that had always been her responsibility. Adding insult to injury, its not even part of your regular job. (Example Youre a graphic designer who makes print ads, and your boss wants you to write press releases...wheres the connection?).She wants you to do this because shes swamped with other, mora important things (not because its part of your workload, or because itll benefit or challenge you). The problem here? Youre just as swamped as she is, and cant see how youll be able to fit this new project into your schedule.This is where prioritizing your workload becomes hugely important. You know youre swamped, but you dont know exactly how bogged down you are unless you have a clear outline that proves it. By outlining your priorities, you can determi ne if you can handle this new project, or if you have to push back and ask your boss to come up with another solution. Heres howCreate a list of everything youre working on, plus everything youve been tasked to do as soon as you finish those projects.Note how long each task will take you to complete, then try to find some wiggle room in the list. It helps to know when the new project needs to be completed, along with an estimate of how much time itll suck out of your day(s). Your boss should be able to provide that information.If you cant find a good place for it, and you dont have the power to decide if you can delay another project in favor of completing the new one, youll have to request your bosss input. Send her the list you created above and simply ask Where do you think this fits in so I can properly prioritize my projects?With luck, youll get a thoughtful response and your boss will have settled the prioritization for you. Otherwise, shell tell you to use your best judgment and youre back to step 2. In that case, youll just have to suck it up and make it work

3 people get real about leaving a job without having another offer

3 people get real about leaving a job without having another offer3 people get real about leaving a job without having another offerEveryone has a unique career path thats solely their own. But things dont always happen as planned.Think about it You were probably told to get a stable job so you could provide for yourself, and eventually, your family. You were probably told to be the best employee you could be and to keep picking up new skills along the way. But most importantly, you were probably told to always have a plan for your next career step.So what happens when you quit without having another job offer secured?Ladders spoke with several working Americans whove all found themselves in this place before, revealing the realities of taking this route.When this approach isnt all its cracked up to beMeet Beth from Oregon.She told us that she currently works for a healthcare provider, but previously left a stelle about 20 years ago without having another one lined up. At the time, s he felt relieved because her work circumstances were uncomfortable, but said that shes actually not in a better place in her career now as a result.Why? Beth said that she accepted the first offer that came her way, and while her peers made progress, she was earning less than before due to a significant pay cut.Now, she says that shes behind, especially in the retirement savings department.When you quit without a plan, it feels like you have the power. But actually, it puts you in a vulnerable position when it comes to negotiating a new job, especially if your finances are in any way limited. I felt like I had to take the first job that was offered, even though it was a cut in pay. I ended up leaving after a year, wasting everyones time, Beth told Ladders.She said she wishes she hadnt done this, saying, .I should have taken accountability for improving my work life where I was, or spent more time in discernment before leaving.But Beth also has words of wisdom for people who are thin king of jumping ship at work without another job offer Take a good look in the mirror, and ask yourself if you are truly doing your best to make the job you have work. If the answer is yes, then ask the following questions 1. What type of work do you want to do? 2. What environment do you want to do it in? 3. Who do you want to be your boss? I have used those three questions to make several job moves and each one has been successful.When this approach really puts the pressure onMeet Danny from New York.He told Ladders that he does marketing for a technology company. He also doled out a word to the wise Hes in a better place now a decade later, but I do feel a consistent sense that I must work hard and save as much as I can because everything can fall out from under me at any moment. The period without a job, on the plus side, gave me grit.Clearly, things werent always easy for Danny along the way.He told Ladders that he arrived in New York City during the summerof2008, before he rea lized that the entire financial infrastructure of the country was about to collapse. I thought that giving myself a few months to look around for a job was the responsible thing to do but ultimately it took me over a year to find my footing.Overall, he likes where his career is headed. But he has recognized the critical role the series of internships, others may not have been financially secure enough to accept, that opened doors for me and created opportunities have played in his career. He also acknowledged that people have vouched for him and given his career a leg up.Danny provided Ladders with a recommendation for people thinking of taking the same approach I would advise people leaving their job to line up some sort of side hustle or freelance work even if its not steady just to have something to do and to show for that period of time. Use your talents however possible and keep making connections with people who can help you accelerate your career.When this approach turns out to be just what the doctor orderedMeet Donya from Florida.She told Ladders that right now, shes a freelance/consultant and that although shes not opposed to working a permanent job, shes currently enjoying the flexibility of being my own boss.Donya was generally happy about how her career has turned out but was also very clear about the challenges of leaving a job without having another offer elsewhere.Im not naive. I know that not everyone is in the position to just walk away without another job,she told Ladders. Still, I think its important to know what you are willing to sacrifice and where youre willing to bend.She also said that when she made the big career move, she felt excited and powerful. Ive always had a net before leaping, so I was excited about embarking on a new adventure. Theres power in taking control.Although Donya said shes currently in a new chapter in life, which she calls similar, but different, she remains optimistic about whats to come.When asked if shes now i n a better place career-wise because of her decision, she expressed that leaving a job without another is truly more complicated than meets the eye.Financially, not yet. Its only been a few months. I made a six-figure salary, and I know it will take time to make that up. Fortunately, I have a husband that is very supportive, she told Ladders. Emotionally/mentally, yes. I know that if I would have stayed, Id be miserable, and that misery would eventually take its toll outside the job and creep into my personal life.But Donya also gave Ladders a crystal clear set of suggestions for others contemplating taking the same risk.Take inventory an honest look at the situation. As we evolve, we should improve therefore, If you are better today than you were yesterday, then power through if not, its time to move on and find a better climate. I should have done that as soon as I saw the warning signs, but I didnt. I kept making excuses and doubting what I was seeing, she said. As time progresse d, I reached my boiling point and had to jump at that moment. I literally was in the middle of a conversation with my boss and blurted out Im leaving. My last day is next Friday. I would normally like to have some sort of plan. At least an eloquent statement prepared.But still, given the chance, Donya said she would do the same thing all over again - just under the same conditions.Although she sometimes wonders what wouldve happened if she remained at her old job and made things work, or if she let them win by bowing out, she told Ladders, then I remind myself that thats pride and I get off my high horse. Theres something in attacking a challenge head-on, but theres also something in knowing where you want to invest your energy. At the end of the day, I didnt feel this particular challenge was worth the investment. Given the same circumstances, Id do it again.
