your relationship with your manager

how important is it to you

I have a 61 year old manager who I respect and I’m learning a lot from him but the best thing at work is I really get on with him

It goes a long way if you get on with your manager

He is pakistani which is a bonus, like a father figure, he cracks up jokes, invites me into his office for gupshup, tea when it was not ramadhan and is very chilled out, How important is your relationship with your manager ??

I thought that it is better to get along with your manager, rather than "get on him". :D

Re: your relationship with your manager

you know what I mean Kaleem

How do you get along with your manager? Do you skip with him side by side holding flowers while the breeze blows your hair into his/her face??

Re: your relationship with your manager

My manager is over 400 miles away, in another country.

He's distant in more ways than one, but it means I'm the man on the spot and have a huge amount of autonomy.

Re: your relationship with your manager

I quit my job before my manager got a chance to fire me.

Ditto. The only difference is, that my manager is more than 1000 miles away. He is in Madrid, Spain and I am in Vienna, Austria. :smiley:

Re: your relationship with your manager

MGR's can be scary sometimes....i had a manager at my old job who always tried to hit on me and then he really came after me like a miniac....ahhhhhh i had to quit cuz i didnt accept his offer (of being his g/f) and before i left i told boss about the situation...hehe and he got it really bad.
P.S. having good professional relationship with ur mgr is really important cuz otherwise, its hard to work in an unfriendly environment.
