How to Keep A Job
Show up early or on time to let the
boss know that you take your job seriously.
Even if you don’t take your job seriously, smile and let your boss think
you do.
Your grandmother can only die so
many times before your work becomes suspicious of why you cannot show up. Make sure you plan in advance if you need a
day off because you do not want to call a few hours before saying you cannot
come in.
When a customer or boss tells you
something, try hard to look like you are listening. Even if you are not completely listening,
make sure your face conveys sincerity at all times. Pretending to care about people or the
company is essential.
When a manager or customer has a
complaint and you feel the need to yell and swear at them, try your best to resist. Simple focus on breathing and know that you
are getting an education and will be making more money than this person one
day.
Personally I do not know if this strategy works, but a girl I used to work with tried this to keep her job. She was sleeping with the employer’s brother
(a 30 year old age difference) and the only reason she doesn’t work there
anymore is because she quit. So this
strategy is one of the best, but it does have its drawbacks.

Laura! Now that I have actually posted mine, you should change the link we added. If you go in the edit menu of your post and select the link "try your best to resist" it should bring up a little tool bar with the link, change, and remove. Hit change, and then change the URL to this instead: http://thosepeskywords.blogspot.com/2012/11/it-is-unfortunate-fact-of-life-that-at.html
ReplyDeleteThat way it will link to that specific post instead of just my blog in general! Otherwise when I post more stuff this one won't be on top and it will look like it has nothing to do with what you were saying. And I linked to you in number 4 with the phrase, "cost you a job." :D
So for some reason my URL changed? I copied and pasted it directly from the open window, but now that link isn't working. It is saying the URL is http://thosepeskywords.blogspot.com/2012/11/how-to-survive-painful-conversation.html now. Not sure why that happened. I'm sorry!
