Going to work can feel like a haunted house when you don’t feel support from your manager. They can pop out and scare you from around the corner when they want to micromanage you. They can make you feel stressed or other physical symptoms when they set impossible goals. The poor employees they like keeping around can make you want to run away!
Now when you have the good side of management, this is what you should experience:
- It is more of a treat than a trick. They will treat you with respect. They will allow you to do your job and know you will get it done well. They will never trick you into doing something they wouldn’t do themselves.
- The team you work with won’t be a bunch of zombies. They will keep you motivated, they will make sure the culture amongst the team is strong, and they will keep people trained so everyone can get the job done well.
- When you are working in the office or at home, you won’t feel like someone is watching you the entire time. Good managers should only raise your salary, not the hair on your neck. They trust you on a daily basis!
If you feel spooked out by your manager/management team, maybe it is time to explore. The job search can feel scary, but we are here to help!
