Hi everybody
Let me at the outset WISH YOU ALL "A GREAT & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR-2007 WHICH WOULD USHER IN OVERALL BRIGHNESS IN OUR LIVES"
I am really enlightened of various good responses about the issue.
In my opinion, a Boss or a Subordinate must always keep some priorities of their tasks for the day and for the week. As rightly pointed by our friends, it can so happen that boss may be dependant on ur inputs for a better productive output and at times he/she may not know anything about the filing and other systems which the subrodinates normally are expected to take care. In such sitations, it is obvious that he would expect the subordinate to be present till the completion of the target. But, it may not the case everyday. IT IS NORMALLY CONSIDERED THAT A PERSON WHO STAYS BACK AFTER OFFICE HRS. UNLESS WITH SPECIFIC TARGETS VIZ. CONFIDENTIAL NATURE AND CREATIVE THOUGHT NECESSIATING GOOD AMBIENCE AND SERENITY IN THE ATMOSPHERE, HE/SHE is considred unproductive or Less-efficient if makes it a practice everyday inviting trouble from his subordinates too.
During the span of almost 17 Yrs. of my experience, I observed that some typical Workholic Bosses who never think of anyting other than work most of the times failing in Work Life Balance tend to behave erratically and make the life of subordinates miserable. They are superficial and feel that a team of people should be around him till he calls it a day. In some circumstances the producvity levels are at minimal still we find bosses cheerful unmindful of the time & energy that was put in achieving nothing. These situations are to be avoided and we can always suggest the bosses thro' the accepted channels to correct his weakness.
Hence, to perceive -vely or +vely depends on the Inter-personal relatlions and varies from situation to situation. No tailor-made solution can be suggested for this. Only one needs to evolve his own strategies to cope-up with stress and bad bosses too which gives them new insights for learning and prepares them to be the future good bosses.
But, I suggest before comment on any situation, we must put ourselves into the shoes of other person and feel the pinch/comfort in it.
Thanks for reading an eleborate reply from my side. Suggested are welcome.
Regards.
