1. Take the first step to approach your boss and discuss your problem. Collect facts on your current workload, project requirements. Be prepared to explain how the increase in workload is impacting your performance and project quality, and how this can impact the company's cost objectives. When you have every detail in place, be ready to meet your boss. 首先想办法跟你的上级讨论这个问题。搜集与你现在的工作量、项目要求相关的资料，并且想好该怎么表达这些工作量已经影响到了你的工作表现和项目质量，又会怎样影响公司的目标成本。当你准备好一切，就去找你的上司吧。 2. Choose a time of the day when you know your boss is usually in a good mood. Ensure that you have your boss' full attention to the problem. If he is doing some other work such as sorting his emails while you are talking, say politely and firmly, "Stewart, I have an important problem to discuss. I would appreciate if you could give me your full attention." 选择你上司通常心情比较好的时间段。你要确保他的注意力全都在你的问题上。如果你跟他讨论这件事的时候他还在做别的事，比如说看邮件，你可以礼貌却肯定的说：“斯图尔特，我要与你讨论很重要的事。能不能先把其他事放下，这样我会非常感激的。” 3. Get to the point without wasting time. "I'm not able to tackle the present workload Stewart. I'm putting in more than 60 hours of work every week. If this continues, my performance will take a downturn as I will be completely at the end of my capabilities. I cannot take any more of this." Remember to put across your problem as your problem alone and not as a complaint against the management or your boss. |
