How Do You Tell Your Boss That There Is Too Much Work? by Robertkenny(m): 2:11am On Jun 24, 2021 |
David Gray Hi boss, do you have a sec? I was reviewing all the tasks on my plate and making estimates of how long it will take me to accomplish them. I realized that given the deadlines we have, there's no way I can get all that done and maintain a good level of quality. There's about 8 days of work to do, and our milestone is in 5 days. I'd like some guidance from you on how to prioritize these tasks, given the time constraints. Or if you'd like, I could help brainstorm how to shuffle some tasks around to other team members." Something like that assumes that you're on the same team, rather than being antagonistic or blaming. It gives him or her specific information, rather than a vague statement of "there's too much work!" It's also an offer to help with the problem, rather than just dumping it on your boss and saying "you figure it out." If you were reporting to me, I'd respond well to something like that. How do you complaint? Shared from Bogger. 27 Likes 4 Shares

Diplomatic talk after late delivery of task. Wrong discussion MIGHT send a signal that you want your salary to be shared. Just psych the boss, saying you notice and also observed the business is growing, and growth is tantatmont to demand, hence blah blah blah. How you say the rest is totally up to guys relationship. But then, it's very risky if we look at your mode of employment and negotiation during employment. Modified!!! So this is how you guys feel when you are the FTC. Waiting for alert!! Anyways thought to share with car owners, be careful where you park your cars, I just recovered from a dream where one weyrey motorist bashed the front end of my car where I jejely parked it, the stupid driver even have the effontory to tie the bumper to the fender with a blue rope. The mama that was selling boli there self couldn't get the drivers number plate. 7 Likes |

The day I dropped all my certificates and face reality...that was the day my life transformed for good... I can't just withstand a boss controlling me ... Bro, you can't complain, even though you want to complain, don't make it formal. Unless you have another job... Most private company boss behave like bubu..... As long as they pay you , do your work even if it's an overload..... Remember, don't complain if you don't have alternative job So endure 34 Likes 1 Share |

The biggest slave camp in the world is in West Africa and the name of that camp is called Nigeria, the slave masters are the leaders, the slaves are the masses, but the mystery here is that the slaves fight and even kill each other for their slave masters thereby encouraging them to continue tormenting them. In Nigeria you don't you must keep working like Jakie (donkey) until you start looking like. 70year old even though you're still in your 30s, cos if you dare complain you will be sacked without compensation and paid half salary. This I have seen. 11 Likes 1 Share |

You don't tell your boss there's too much work. If you can't handle the amount of work given to you, you quit and let someone else who can handle it takeover your position. I am sure this is what your boss will tell you if you complain of too much work. |

Back in those days as a manager, my boss once asked me to sack a particular staff. I told him outrightly that I won't sack her and won't tolerate it if he sacks her. Boss was mad and started accusing me of dating the girl. I told him that the problem I have with him sacking people is that the replacement he gets are not as dedicated as those he sacked. I told him to employ three more hands if he wants me to sack the lady. He later employed more hands and still retained the lady. My boss was a strong man, to tell him that he needs to employ a new hand, you have to open eye and yell it at him!! 14 Likes |

If we having a meeting, and he ask for updates, I will say I'm working on a b c, I will done in 4 days time but d and e will be challenge to complete on schedule. My point is he should be getting hints you won't finish everything on time, that way he knows the work is too much. I know it's not easy but better he knows before hand you won't complete everything on time 1 Like |

Start singing that Kizz Daniel's song... "see this life I no like trouble o... no go dey do pass yourself... pemperipe pemperipepe..." He'll get the gist Most times, having work overload arises when you've hinted to your employed that you can over labour yourself by your own actions like foolishly working overtime unpaid, trying to impress by rushing through your work so as to appear competent, unnecessarily accepting multiple tasks at the same time etc What's tha business? 3 Likes 1 Share |
