I always hate it when the boss comes in to observe you working. I mean c’mon…I’m there, I’m getting it done, I’m doing a good job. But when the boss comes in and starts looking over your shoulder or stands at the back of the room and observes, it’s a little nerve racking. You start trying to do anything you can think of just to look busy. Click around on that computer screen. Mutter to yourself in the hall about all the work there is to do. Shuffle and re-reorganize those papers. Anything to keep the boss from studying you too close.
Because no one needs the added pressure of THE MAN hovering over you. Even if you are doing an outstanding job at your work (and I’m sure that you are), what if you aren’t doing that particular task using the bosses preferred methods? The world might just come to an end. Seriously.
We all know why bosses are bosses- It’s because they can’t fathom anyone doing anything in a different manner other than the one in which they envisioned it. Obviously. It’s the same reason why I’ll be such a great boss someday. Only I won’t hover over my employees and look over their shoulders. I’ll just watch them from my secret underground lair.
