How To Handle A Grammarian Boss At The Office? by amliftedhigher: 2:27pm On Jun 29, 2017 |
Good day fellow Nairalanders. I work in a federal government parastatals in the HR department. My former boss use to give me Kudos each time I present a memo to him to vet. Sometimes he will either see some corrections or he will sign immediately. But since a new boss came na wahala oh. I will try my best with the help of Oxford dictionary newest edition to present a good memo devoid of grammatical blunder to him still either he cancels the entire write up or he writes his own. And some times when he write his own I will give it to the secretary to type and after that I will present it to him for him to sign but instead of signing it he will cancel it again his own write up oh. Some times I will spend a whole day presenting one memo. I Am confused now that if there is a memo I will write it any how and then present it to him because no matter how I tried he will do correction. Fellow Nigerians how do you handle a grammarian boss? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

But where is lalasticlala and Mynd44 sef. From my position, the following are the problems: 1. Your new Boss is not computer-literate. But don't tell him. 2. Your new Boss has not yet acquainted himself with the vocabulary of the job. (S)He needs some time. 3. Your use of the Oxford dictionary should be for meaning-making, contestations and definitions. It should be used sparingly for grammatical construct. 4. Arm yourself with your Boss style. For instance, always refer to previous signed memos for choice of words, language and vocabulary etc. 5. Improve yourself by reading widely. 6. Your new boss would appraise you, so be in good form at all times. 7. As for the Secretary, what is their level of input? Is it just copy (handwritten text) and type verbatim? By the way, in most corporate organisations, they employ Head of Units that can multi-function/multi-task. One person to conceptualise, type, print and even despatch No need for three persons simply waste of resources..imagine its even a federal government institution sef 38 Likes 1 Share |

It is 'my former boss ' not 'my formal boss '. Former means past or previous while formal means corporate. You could see why your boss keeps correcting your grammar 90 Likes 7 Shares |
