What to do when a GOOD boss leaves


We NEVER thought it would happen; it's just one of those rare occurrences in life, but now we know that it's possible.... One of the OWH gurus actually likes her boss!
I hope that statement doesnt cause any of you to stop following the OWH blog, but we pride ourselves on being honest, and well... the boss is cool, what can we say?

With that being said, let me tell you that this post is not about ass-kissing. We're just gonna give you a few tips about surviving when a good boss leaves.

1) Don't get all down in the mouth. There isnt anything wrong with letting your fave boss know he's cool, but don't overdo it. you'll look like a brown nose, and we HATE brown nosers.

2) Attend his farewell luncheon. We're not trying to be hypocrites. We know we've given tips on how to escape these typically boring events, but since you actually like the boss, you could at least do him the courtesy of showing up at his "going away".

3) Do not could-shoulder your new boss. He/she may actually be okay. (fingers crossed)

4) Do not start slacking more than usual. Its a new boss, not a substitute teacher. With that said, don't volunteer for more work. We hate work, and so do you, right?

5) Now that the old boss is gone, this is your opportunity to school the new boss in doing things the way YOU like. Since you've been around longer, the new boss will have to lean on you. USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!

That's all for now! Check back later for more OHW...
Now that the fave boss is gone, we'll be back Hardly Working!
