"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I have a part time job at a fast food restuarant and I, like many others, hate my boss.


Because the boss is the one controlling everything it is not possible to be one in control (hence, a DJ), I am not free to do anything.. I am constantly being ordered around and what is worse my boss is a FEMALE

LOL anyways, this has effected my attitude during work when i deal with other females... i see no way around this and it kills me that I can't stand up for myself or else I'd get fired


btw when the boss is not there i am able to get free food and free to do anything however she is usually there

any suggestions? opinions?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I may have misunderstood your point,

but I find your attitude disturbing... She is your boss... your employer... The person that give you money in exchange for your services....you don't bite the hand that feeds you.. She obviously isn't paying you to be a DJ...

Anyway, I don't see how it would affect your game with other chicks that work there...

Well duh. That's what bosses aer supposed to do.

Being a DJ is about being in control of your life. It doesn't mean you gotta be a bad employee and ignore orders. A DJ in the army doesn't disobey his commanders to show he is a "DJ".

Everyone knows the organizational structure at your work so girls at your work won't look down at you because you're doing your job.

having a sh*tty boss just gives you and the other chicks at work a common thing to ***** about and bring you together.. its a cliche but people often become closer when they're in stressful situations. help each other thru it etc.. I don't really see what the problem is, as long as the boss isn't patronising you or making you look stupid..

I have a boss like that bro, she's female as well so I feel your pain. Also 80% of my co-workers are woman FFS. It's like a tampon parade when things go wrong.

The way to defeat your boss is to do your job properly and take a role of responsibility yourself.

I've been so intense in getting things done that I've had bosses that were scared to confront me, because I would make sure that there was a tight ship going on.
