[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 88384, member: 1285"] Re: Getting my employer to take me seriously... Agreed, it is soooo right (and yet so wrong from a manager's point of view). Unfortunately, in any job, keeping your boss happy comes before anything else, it doesn't matter if you are good, produce brilliant results and are the best and most valuable employee the organisation has ever had if your boss isn't happy with you. As a manager, I used to take the view that my most important job was to be a facilitator for my team, to make sure they had what they needed to enable them to do the best job possible. Not being a manager anymore, mostly due to my focus on results and team efficiency rather than making my boss happy, I still believe that a managers focus should be on facilitating his team, but in real life you have to make your boss want you.
