In corporate employment, it is common for the seniors to delegate subordinate staff sometimes to the point where is becomes unfair. Have you heard about juniors who draft executive board papers, attend national meetings, drive corporate projects, etc. I know you have or even could be a victim of such occurrences. I have, and we see a lot of such in our African corporate companies. What comes to your mind when such things happen? What would make you make you think it is an exposure opportunity or exploitation? Let\u2019s brainstorm some points that support each of these thoughts.<\/p>\n
I would consider any assignment to be exposure if the following apply:<\/p>\n
1.\tThe assignment is relevant to your job<\/p>\n
2.\tNotice of the assignment is given when there is still enough time to prepare<\/p>\n
3.\tYou are the only or one of the specialist on the subject assignment<\/p>\n
4.\tYou are aspiring for the position for which the assignment belong<\/p>\n
5.\tThe assignment has benefits such as documented credits for good performance, financial return in form of bonuses, it opens chances for a promotion or better employment opportunities, etc.<\/p>\n
Opposites of the points above can be considered as exploitation. In addition to those are the following:<\/p>\n
1.\tThe boss is lazy to do the work<\/p>\n
2.\tIf poor performance on the assignment warrants a dismissal <\/p>\n
3.\tAll benefits will go to the boss and not for company<\/p>\n
4.\tThe assignment arises from poor performance of the boss<\/p>\n
Points to each of these extreme opposites are many. I know you could come up with your own points that are even more than what I listed. <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s think together once again, if you happen to be a victim of exploitation what should you do? Do you reject the assignment, conveniently under perform to expose the boss, resign, or look for another job? The answer is simple \u2013 decide for that whose consequences you can take. What does this mean? Plan for the action you want to take, don\u2019t be blind. I cover a topic on \u2018How to Quit your day job\u2019 in my blog where I tell of what should keep most of us employed till time is right. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
