THINGS TO NEVER TELL YOUR BOSS

If you want to keep your job, watch your mouth in the office. And we're not talking about swearing, although you shouldn't do that either. Saying the wrong thing to your boss -- even if it's true -- could put your job security on the line. Monster.com has helpfully compiled a list of the nine things you should never, ever say to your boss -- or risk getting fired. "I need a raise." That is not to say you can't ask for a raise during salary negotiations, but don't phrase it in terms of what you "need." Instead, negotiate for a higher salary by highlighting your successes and offering hard data on what other people in your industry at your level earn. "That just isn't possible." Even if it really isn't possible, don't admit it. Instead, focus on what can be done. Solve problems; do not create new ones. "I can't stand working with _____." When you complain about another coworker, even if it is warranted, it reflec...

Making preparation, is a waste of your time.

This reframes today's talk as a more "exploratory" and reduces the odds that you'll have to make any real commitments. Initiate interrogation Finally, always invite an irrelevant staff member so you can ask question on their behalf. "Could you run through Project X,...

WAYS TO RATE YOUR FIRST DATE

Dr. Darcy Luadzers (aka Dr. Darcy) says, "Sure, you look at their shoes, their hair, their car, and take notes on the size of the tab and tip... but where do you go next to "Rate Your First Date" before its too late? Here's advice from couples who, looking back on their first date, wish they'd asked the right questions, before they fell in love, and over the cliff flailing toward the great marital abyss and into therapy." The first date kiss: A peck? A tongue past the tonsils? The slobbering wet willy? None? Or the romantic passionate, thought I'd died and gone heaven kiss? It will never change. Does he/she remember your name and/or pronounce it right all night? And What number date are you this week? Does he/she like your pet? If not, run now. Does he/she refer to old flames by names... unless you ask? If they mention the name more than twice, they're still dating them, not you. Does he/she have a REAL job? I don't mean a job with your name...
