Podcast: Is Your Boss At You These Days?

What to do when proving yourself feels like job one

Can’t wait to get to work today! I’m getting things done, I’m exceeding expectations, I’m at the top of my game—and my managers know it and love it!

(Says no one ever, listening to this podcast.)

The reality is, all too often the work you do is looked upon with suspicion. All too often, the management’s posture is, “Prove it. Show me the money!”

This week, Emily, David, LaShone, and Craig jump into a conversation about how proving the value of your work becomes the imperative to prove the value of yourself. We offer practical advice for times when you find yourself—as one professional report notes, our digitalized workplaces have replaced “cultures of trust” with “cultures of proof.”

So, yeah, here’s the surprise. Your boss might not be the only culprit in a professional culture of proof. This week, the Mode/Switchers ask what digital platforms have to do with digital babysitting in the workplace?

Ultimately, our goal is to help you start building trust in the workplace.
