They lie to me

- This next boss problem we've kind of dealt with a little bit before when we talked about messing with your money. Because this next problem is lying to you, where the boss says, oh yeah I'm waiting HR. And messing with your money is kind of one version of lying to you isn't it, because that's where they say you're gonna be paid and you're not. But if they're lying to you about anything it might be, for example I worked as a university lecturer for awhile and I had a temporary contract and they kept saying, yeah, yeah your permanent contracts gonna come through soon, you'll be made permanent soon, and it just went on and on. And it is the most annoying thing. And similarly to messing with your money I think being prepared to leave has to be the bottom line because if you've got a boss who lies to you or if you've got an organization who lies to you that's not the sort of place where I want to work. But the only way that you can find out whether it's the organization or just a bad boss is to ask to meet the other parties. To go to HR and say, look have you had the form from my boss. Of course if they're any good they won't tell you. They'll say, well that's between you and him. But they might tell you so I would go to HR. But the other option is to say to your boss, I want to have a meeting with you and HR and can we both sit down and sort this out. So ask to have a meeting with all the parties. Now it may not be HR, your boss may be saying that their boss has to approve it and their boss hasn't signed the form yet. In which case you could say, well can I have a meeting with you and your boss. Can the three of us sit down and talk about it? 'Cause then you can find out what's really going on. It's gonna be a bit scary but you have to get to the bottom of whether it's just your boss who hasn't even passed the forms on or whether it really is an organizational problem and your boss is just failing to fight to your corner for you. So because we're prepared to leave over this we can have no fear and we mustn't, we have to get to the bottom of that one. Still use the four step process of course. You can still say, you know it's difficult but you're upset and all the stuff that we did before. So if they're lying to you have a meeting with all of the parties. It's the only way.
