We found only four main reasons for the change of boss:
- I didn’t do the job
- There is "your own man" at this place
- Went to increase
- Retired
- Often the second reason is replaced by the first - and it is most difficult to put up with this subordinate. Especially if the old boss got along well with the team.
In general, bosses are changing - learn to accept this, and ideally benefit.
How Russians relate to bosses - figures, facts
83% of Russians prefer to work in companies with a soft type of management. Only 5% of respondents chose a tough demanding leader.
Hays, an international recruiting company, found that more than half of Russian employees no older than 25 years old want to see a mentor and ideological inspirer in the leader, and 18% - even a friend. 17% of respondents called the ability to clearly distribute tasks the main quality of an ideal leader.
We also learned how Russians relate to leaders. According to GorodRabot.ru polls, only 4% of employees admire the boss, 2% envy him and 23% respect him. Negative attitude prevails - 43.5% of respondents do not care about the boss, 12.5% despise him, 15% hate him.
Another interesting figure - 35% of quarrels in the workplace arise between the leader and subordinate. Moreover, the higher the salary of an employee, the more often he goes to conflict. However, only 10% of layoffs are due to a quarrel with the boss.
A separate case - if a woman was appointed the chief. 79% of male workers do not want to obey a woman. Women also do not want to obey women - 54% of Russian employees are against the female boss.
How to build a relationship with a new boss
Svetlana Savelyeva, head of the Kelly Services candidate search center, gave some tips:
- Tune in to positive - only by working in a team can you succeed
- Take the boss to the team - remember that the boss needs you as much as he needs you
- Set the rules for a new game - if within two weeks the new boss does not explain his requirements, ask yourself
- Conduct an open dialogue - you can not accumulate resentment and complaints
Now about how to communicate with the boss correctly.
Keep adequate
The boss to the employee is a friend. To build a normal working relationship with any person, you need to remember three things - respect, boundaries, dialogue. Well, check to see if you have 8 habits that definitely infuriate your boss. Recognized yourself - work.
Work openly
Make the boss see you work, the task is work. If you do not have time in time - explain the reason.
Report any problem immediately after its occurrence - problems tend to accumulate. Something is not clear - ask. Everything is simple.
Follow the rule of three "NOT"
- Do not lie. And do not be silent - you remember that everything secret becomes apparent
- Do not make excuses. Suppose you are not to blame three times - than to make excuses, it is better to take into account the mistake and do not allow a repeat
“Don't blame others.” No one loves those who consider themselves sinless. If you think about it, even if someone else was wrong, your fault is at least that you didn’t check on time
What to do if working with the new boss fails
If relations with the new boss do not go well, there are two solutions: to endure or quit. First, try to figure out how to work with the new boss. Suddenly, everything is not so bad. Before leaving, be sure to ask yourself 5 questions.
But if you are dealing with a sociopath, quit (how to understand that your boss is a sociopath, read here). No money is worth your health. You will find a new job much faster than restoring trampled self-esteem.

6 professional skills that everyone needs
In the resume, you are an ideal employee - experience, qualifications, diploma, certificates. But do employers still refuse? Because companies are not just looking for an employee, but part of a team - a person who will fit in and add fire to the processes.
According to surveys, 63% of Russian employers are looking for a candidate with developed “soft” skills - teamwork, ability to solve conflicts and build dialogue, flexibility.
What are soft skills - about it here.
Google has established 8 mandatory requirements for candidates, 7 of which are “soft” skills:
- Be a good mentor and teacher
- Good listening and dialogue
- Understand and accept other people's values, points of view
- High level of empathy and emotional support
- have critical thinking
- Respond quickly and adapt to the situation
- It’s good to work with complex ideas and a lot of information - draw parallels, highlight theses, find connections and communities
- Level "Expert" in the professional field
- More like the requirements for an employee in a psychological assistance center, but this is how Google selects tech developers.
We studied the opinion of Russian employers and found 6 “soft” skills, without which there is nowhere if you want a career and recognition.
Desire for learning
The desire and ability of lifelong learning is highly valued in the labor market. The professional environment is dynamic and requires flexibility, adaptability, easy-to-learn and thirst for knowledge from employees.
Team thinking
90% of the work is teamwork.
Collective communication is difficult. Here should be the trust of the participants, a friendly atmosphere, well-functioning processes, clear tasks and so on.
It’s not enough just to write “I know how to work in a team” in a resume - it’s better to give a real example and share experience. Talk about the processes, your role in the team, the features of communication.
How to learn to work in a team - read here.
Flexibility and engagement
Important qualities that are difficult to describe in a resume or show in an interview.
In this case, it is better to share the experience again. For example, tell us how you worked on a project whose terms were constantly changing - how you had to adapt to new requirements and solve problems associated with it.
Managing your work
No matter what position you apply for - self-organization should be at the level.
Despite the fact that there may be 2-3 leaders above you, you will have to follow the deadlines and give motivational kicks yourself. Employers want independent and responsible workers - become one.
Self-confidence
They perceive you exactly as you present yourself.
Speak, act, make decisions confidently. Even if you do not claim (for now) a leading position in the company - behave as a leader.
Interaction skills
Communicative skills, or more simply - communication skills, are needed for effective teamwork. This is the main soft skill.
There is a qualitative difference between a team that mindlessly performs its tasks and a team that understands what it is doing and why. Therefore, it is so important to be able to explain and argue your decision, and then convey the point of view to the rest.
If the company has well-established communications - the speed of work processes, quality and overall involvement are at a high level.

What to do if you are fired for an article - answers to the 7 most common questions
The employer threatened to dismiss under the article - do not rush to write a statement of your own free will. Dismissing is not as easy as it seems.
What can they fire for?
According to the article, they can dismiss for misconduct:
- Inconsistency of the position - if I could not cope with the work
- Failure to perform duties or misconduct
- Absenteeism
- Drunk appearance
- Disclosure of confidential information
- Theft
- Withholding information important to the employer
Is it possible to dismiss a pregnant woman
Pregnant employees can be fired only if the company is liquidated. In other cases, the maximum is a remark or reprimand.
Employees on maternity leave can be dismissed during the liquidation of the company, for repeated violation within a year, for an immoral act (applies only to teachers and educators).
Single mothers are also forbidden to dismiss until the child reaches the age of 14, and if the child is disabled, until the age of 18.
Is it possible to dismiss an employee on sick leave and on vacation
Also not - only if the company closes.
True, a vacation application must be written or a sick leave issued.
What payments are due upon dismissal under article
Only salary for hours worked and compensation for unused vacation. There is no severance pay for dismissal under the article.
Moreover, if the employer has suffered material damage, compensation may be requested from the employee.
What to do if you want to fire under the article
Try to negotiate first. Explain the reason. If the company through your fault lost money - return it. The goal is to achieve the dismissal of their own or by agreement of the parties.
If you don’t agree, remember:
- They can be fired for being late only after the first warning - comments or reprimands, and no more than a year should pass from the moment of their receipt
- Absence is considered absent from the workplace for more than 4 hours in a row. If you are absent for a good reason, take a certificate. In any case, within 2 days you write an explanatory note, and you can be fired for absenteeism only within a month from the day of absenteeism
- The fact of theft is established only by a court decision or a decision of an authorized body. If management does not want or cannot prove theft in court - you have the right to dismiss on your own
- For appearing while intoxicated, they can be fired only according to the results of medical examination carried out with the consent of the employee
- All charges - the concealment of important information, the disclosure of confidential information - must be proved. If there is no evidence, it is impossible to dismiss under article
What to do if the record of dismissal under the article is in the work book
If you still get fired under the article and the labor is spoiled, there are three solutions to the problem.
1. “Lose” the work book
You can go to the previous place of work and ask for a duplicate. There will be no information about the last place of work and dismissal under the article.
Before you decide, think carefully. If the city is small, everyone will know about you. Option - to leave with a duplicate of labor in a big city.
The personnel officer can check the information about you in the FIU. And there they will call the last place of work.
In addition, by 2021, enterprises will switch to electronic work books, which cannot be lost.
2. Write a cool cover letter in the resume
And at the interview to explain the dismissal - best of all by a misunderstanding. It is not worth while pouring mud on the former boss. Negativity towards management is always alarming.
3. Change a profession or start a business
Sometimes there is no other way. Theft or disclosure of information to competitors is an indelible stain on reputation.
But if you try yourself in a completely different field, you will be much more condescending to past misconduct.
Or maybe firing under the article is your chance? Try yourself as an entrepreneur. Then surely no one will have to report to anyone.

How to prepare social networks for job search
75% of employers check social networks of candidates - LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, VKontakte. If you do not know how prepare, use my blog with recomendation for federal resume https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/kellytier66
"My social networks are my own business." Not certainly in that way. Social networks are a source of information and a powerful marketing tool. Here you can track human behavior, interests, lifestyle, views, environment.
For example, by likes under posts, you can calculate the close circle of the candidate and go even deeper into the analysis of personality. This is real technology.
Yes, only you decide what to publish on the pages of social networks. Just do not forget, this is public information.
If you want to hide from employers and other organizations - use pseudonyms in social network accounts, restrict or block access to viewing information. True, you will have to open at least one account (or create a new one) anyway - because it is suspicious when a person is not in social networks. Maybe he's hiding?
Better yet, add to the resume links to social networks that you prepared for checking the eychar.
Remember the basic rules. In open accounts of social networks it is impossible to broadcast radical political, religious and social views.
Candid photos and posts about the rolls are better to hide. Subscribe to professional publics and groups of industry leading companies, add information about places of work, skills and education. Erase the philosophical status from 2008.
In open sources, you can’t share and disclose the details of the projects you are working on. You should not talk about the problems of the current employer and condemn employees.
Now in more detail - what else to clean on social networks before looking for work.
Posts about boring work and the head of the fool
We also love memes about work, but such jokes are best left for internal chats. The employer may decide that at the new place you too will get bored and will not call for an interview.
Photos in swimsuits and chronicles of tumultuous parties
Candid photos can not be shown to the recruiter - will not appreciate.
Do not upload photos in underwear and bathing suits, remove the provocative avatar, remove the marks in the photos of friends from parties. Carefully read the privacy settings on the page.
Aggressive comments, reposts and strange friends
Clean the posts and reposts on the “wall”. There should not be offensive posts, reposts with raffles of food and sneakers.
If you are an active participant in the “holivars” in the comments, you will have to delete all aggressive statements.
We recommend reviewing your friends list on social networks. Recruiters often write to subscribers of the applicant with questions about the personal and professional qualities of the candidate. Remove or hide acquaintances who may put you in the wrong light.
Social networks are checked by both linear staff and management - in the second case they find fault with more, of course.
Work experience, skills, business qualities are the main criteria for selecting a candidate. However, unpopular views, chauvinistic remarks and lifestyle can be the reasons for rejection, despite any professional merit.

How to fire an employee without negativity - all about transparent dismissal
# parting with friends - this is not only a fashion trend. This is a new approach to the dismissal of employees, which is equally needed by both the company and employees.
If you announce to the employee the dismissal of the day, the negative can not be avoided. A person feels cheated, and his emotions will turn into a spoiled reputation of the company, as a result - a loss of customer confidence.
But you can fire an employee so that he remains grateful to management. It is only necessary to follow the rules of transparent dismissal.
Why do you have to fire employees
If there was a serious violation of labor discipline - dismiss under the Labor Code. The main thing here is to comply with all formalities and prove misconduct.
But it also happens that the employee clearly has nothing to blame - the manager simply understands that this person does not fit into the team. Perhaps the employee does not share the values of the company. Or not competent enough. Or just toxic.
Many managers make a mistake - they give such employees a second chance. Out of pity or for fear of being left with a vacancy, the manager puts off a heavy conversation about dismissal.
Ivan Zimbitsky, founder of GoldCoach consulting company, is sure:
“If an employee works in such a way that it’s time to fire him and you don’t fire him, this leads to degradation of both the employee and the company.”
The company loses customers and profits, the employee - professional qualifications.
How to make firing fair - the three yellow card method
Ivan Zimbitsky offers a method that gives a person confidence in the fairness of the decision of the leader. It is called the “three yellow card method”.
Each “yellow card” is a warning conversation with the leader. For the first time, you need to openly express your complaints to the employee and find out why he is not coping. The leader offers help and gives time to rectify the situation.
The second time, if there are no changes, the conversation is held in the same vein. However, this time the employee must clearly understand - if his work efficiency does not improve, he will be fired.
The third “yellow card” is a letter of resignation.
A significant plus of the method is that the employee understands why he is being fired.
ow to build a dismissal conversation
A notice of termination must be correct and respectful. Psychologists recommend building it according to the “positive - negative - positive” scheme:
To mention the qualities of the employee that allowed him to take a position
Report problems, announce decision to dismiss, and state objective reasons for dismissal
Give recommendations, talk about severance pay and once again mention the positive qualities of the employee
Categorically it is impossible at the same time:
Reproach the employee and get personal
Respond with aggression to aggression
Express active sympathy and show pity
How to make dismissal transparent and part with friends
David Siegel, a senior executive at Everyday Health, offers a method of transparent dismissal.
The manager informs the employee about the dismissal politely and respectfully, but categorically. At the same time, the employee is given time to search for a new job - from 6 weeks to 3 months.
An employee can attend job interviews while continuing to work for the company.
The manager assists in finding a new job: gives recommendations, helps to create a resume.
Such a termination strategy benefits everyone:
Man calmly looking for a new job
The company finds a replacement and is not afraid of a lawsuit from a former employee
The rest of the employees know that they are not threatened with a sudden dismissal, they feel more confident and free
In addition, in the future, the company may continue to cooperate with the dismissed employee. Perhaps he will become her client.
In any case - parting with employees without negativity, the company strengthens its position and reputation.
