Twitter question on careerealism Q# 345
TAP Q# 345 Made my boss look bad . How do I recover?

Dear troubled employee:

Sorry to hear that kind of trouble at work is permeating your thoughts.

Congratulations on getting the project on time.

Without knowing all of the facts, I would be suspicious about the manager not behaving the "same."
That in itself seems unprofessional and unfair, at best.

Is there any delicate way that you could approach the boss and remind him of the following:
-you met the deadline ahead of time
-your intentions were genuine to assist with the project
- your successes in the last year. Put them on paper and present them. Save for posterity.
(Especially in your field, the priorities are to save money, make money, increase efficiency and improve something. Those are good guidelines).

Did you know that companies' # 1 priority is to improve efficiency?

-reassure your boss that your role at the company aligns with its mission statement, goals and values
-affirm that you are dedicated to bringing the company 100% value and that you will continue to deliver it

Never give a company reason for questioning your role at a company. Some would say don't show a sign of weakness.

Wait patiently for the next assigment.
Best wishes
