A friend who works for an advertising company asked his boss for a raise, but was rejected. "She repeatedly insisted on this proposition, resulting in an extremely unpleasant argument, with the intensity of the dual dialect language, which caused her friend to resign angrily.".
Living day and night, who can guarantee never to have an argument with your boss? However, when arguing with your boss, remember a few tips:
Choose a time when your boss is in a good mood. Before discussing with your boss, it is best to contact your secretary or assistant to understand his emotional state. It is obviously unwise to ask for something when he is sad and in a bad mood. When your boss is feeling down, don't disturb him; Don't rush to talk during meal time because it's easy for him to distract himself and make hasty decisions; If your boss is planning to go on vacation or has just returned from vacation, it's best not to deal with him.
Do not be angry or agitated. It will only add fuel to the fire and make the boss even more angry. Therefore, before arguing with your boss, first stabilize your emotions and don't complain about trivial matters. If an employee is always grumbling about the company, his boss will come to the conclusion that there seems to be little hope of making him happy and satisfied, and it is best to let him find another job.
Clear and thorough presentation of issues. Embarrassing disputes often arise when neither the boss nor the subordinate knows what the other person is thinking, so clearly and concisely express their views. The boss quickly understands the meaning, and the dispute between the two parties disappears. Some people choose to express their views in written reports or emails, which allows their boss to focus on his thoughts and make better choices.
Before arguing, it is also important to consider the goals and hardships that the boss is trying to achieve in order to engage in a more beneficial debate. If you discuss issues from the perspective of your boss, it will naturally be easier to achieve the goals you are striving for. To hold one's own opinions and not accommodate each other is actually a foolish idea.
