Hmmm why are you willing to say No to your Boss? If we work accordingly and on merit then why our boss will against us. So be positive and think positive and also work positive to avoid angry of our boss.

Others might work but do not try number 6. It doesn't work any where in the world without painting different picture of you.. lazy, grumpy when given a job to do.

How about promotion? Would you rather your boss give it to someone else.

pls , wht happened to 'yes sir'? If d situation doesnt change for him to know his wrong orders soon, naturally, then u'd better start thinking of leaving. Thats mine. 'Yes sir' secures d job far better than any body language suggesging a 'no' answer. U can succeed in saying 'no' bt remember there is appraisals. As much as we all hate d word eye service, it really works to keep ur job. Infact it was taught in school, only wt a different name. So... Yes sir, eye service, yes sir , eye service. Death hero , not my style.

THIS CAN ONLY WORK FOR THE BOSS THAT REALLY DID NOT WANT TO SEE YOUR UNDER BUT JUST TRYING TO KNOW THE KIND OF EMPLOYEE YOU ARE. THE REAL DON THAT NEED YOU UNDER HIM CANT BE WON WITH THESE POINTS.

If really the poster is currently working. I bet you, he wouldn't dare try any of those points mentioned.

You could've explained to us how you've used any of those points and how successful it is.

Some people will just write up something as if they are not in Nigeria, Nigerian bosses are the worst to work with, they will offer you stipens and still expect you to do the work of 5 people. A Nigerian boss generally doesnt see the need to pay you well or employ more people when the workload is getting crazy, lemme give replies to these questions like an average employer will reply you

1. Remind Your Boss Of Your Current Workload -
Ans: I thought you said you can multi task and work under pressure when we were interviewing you

2. Say No Without Really Saying No -
Ans: Get the documents on my table before noon, dont care how you gonna do it

3. Plan On Making Changes To Your Schedule
Ans: You better make sure your plans are according to my schedule

4. Question Your Boss’s Needs
Ans: You are fired!!!

5. Pitch An Alternative Solution
Ans: So if you know better than i do how come you havent started your own company

6. Suggest Colleagues
Ans: Excuse me, i gave you a task you want to push it to someone else, are you alright?

7. Communicate Your Limits
I thought you said you can achieve any task under any circumstance, should we review what you said during interview?

8. Make Sure Everything Is Clear From The Beginning
Ans: You wouldnt have been employed in the first place, cos we dont employ based on your limits

9. Schedule A Meeting
Ans: Never in your life schedule a meeting with me, i am the boss i schedule meetings for my subordinates


U too much joor...U have spoken well.

I simply put everything in black and white. I was explicit on why I must handle a task and why I shouldn't.
