Have you been distressed lately about the economy, your job or your boss? If so, you wouldn’t be alone.
When times are toughest, most of us tend to wait out the storm rather than seek out other, perhaps even riskier opportunities.
In his new book, Bulletproof Your Job, author Stephen Viscusi says that your “primary objective” at work is to protect your job because it is “your most valuable asset.”
Forget the financial crisis; the issue is more primal than that. “Here’s the cold hard truth: If you don’t click with your boss, all that merit and pedigree won’t get you anywhere when your job is on the line,” writes Viscusi. “What really matters is what your boss thinks about you.”
