Say what?
Sometimes it just doesn’t pay to be perceived to be the smartest person in the office. Today my boss told me to check out the web hosting hub reviews and determine which one would be the best one to get for our office’s website. Now to be perfectly honest, I know what a web host is, but I have no idea what a web hosting hub is! I’m a little bit aggravated because I feel that the boss is either trying to make me look stupid, or is trying to take advantage of my good nature by asking me to work beyond my job title’s responsibilities are.
Seems to me that I’ve read a few books about verbal self defense in a business situation that resembles something like this scenario. I think I’m being set up and am not quite sure what to do about it. I think I’ll need to dig around my bookshelves tomorrow for that book and re-read it. I hope it has some good advice about how to get out of this gracefully! If I can’t find it, I guess I’ll have to spend the day doing some research on the Internet about the subject and try to make some sense out of it all!
