Haciendo amigos en la oficina que sirvan de algo


En la línea de los “como trabajar en tu trabajo” tenemos esta, que podría resumirse como “a quién y cómo besarle el culo en la oficina” (por favor, mantengamos la compostura y no hagamos el chiste fácil que a todos se nos ocurre).

No es broma, de eso va el artículo. Este es un ejemplo:

IT Support:
DO: Make friends and really stroke his/her ego. Let’s face it, he is a techy type and may not have the greatest of social skills (may not), but he is smart and likes it when you tell him so. The key here is be his buddy and flatter him. “What would I do without you? You saved my documents.” Trust me, when you have an email problem, suddenly you’ll go to the front of the list ahead your boss. Only IT knows whose complaint came in first and if you’re likable, you can cut the line.

DON’T: Do not call him multiple times with the same problem and try to cover it up with chit chat. He knows why you’re calling when you’ve got a tech problem and it’s not discuss your date last night. In fact, he likely resents your calls and drop by’s that are merely fake friend visits meant to mask what you really want. He may even get annoyed and push you further down the list.
