Doing a good job isnt enough to be considered an essential employee.
Kitten, be a non-smoker.
When he was applying for a content creator position at a university, nowhere did they specify this requirement.
I guess in a way she felt that being a smoker in an educational institute was unbecoming.
An example would be when she would ask me about the font of my deck in an interview.
These were never called decks, never have been, and never have since.
So it was just the little things like that.
Moreover, fear of negative ramifications often deters employees from raising concerns.
Who knows how much damage the lady from the post had caused before that project?
Even if youve worked together for a while, clarify their expectations of you, she suggested.
Many bosses are unclear about their expectations, and misaligned assumptions may underlie your troubles.
Pressing them for the specifics means you could more easily action their suggestions.
While receiving constructive feedback is inherently stressful, you may learn whats in your way, she said.
Provided theyre more reasonable than Mr. Kittens former boss, of course.
