12 tips from junior employees to senior managers.

I found this in the kitchen besides my office. :)))))

12 tips from junior employees to senior managers.

How to enhance their relationship:

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 5:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is always refreshing.

2. If it's really a "rush job," run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it is going. That greatly aids my efficiency.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books or supplies, don't open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors is good training.

5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. Let me guess.

6. Do your best to keep me late. I like the office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do.

7. If a job I do please you, keep it a secret. Leaks like that could cost me a promotion.

8. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversation.

9. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done.

10. Never introduce me to people you're with. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

11. Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life.

12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate.

Actually, I started reading from bottom up and thought that people in this school were really humorous. Then I went to the top of the page. I felt colder and colder while I was moving down. How am I going to survive here??? This reminded me about the video clips that Steve Goodman shot for the Biostat department retreat ---- how young faculty survive at Hopkins. It was like Francesca falling down outside of Scott's office. :)))))))) Next time when you see me, I will be much slimer than I am, and with wrinkles all over my face.
