In the enterprise, the boss depends on the staff, but also manages the staff. The employee depends on the boss, but also assists the boss.

Therefore, the complementary relationship between the boss and the staff is bound to doomed the game relationship between the two sides.

Opening up to the boss is the art of making good use of this game relationship.

If you have to negotiate with your boss at some necessary time, what kind of game method is the most appropriate and applicable?

How can we turn the opposing situation between the boss and employees into a "win-win" situation?

Conditions for equivalent exchange with boss

David (Frenchman) IT engineer of a consulting company

I grew up with my boss from Hongkong to Shanghai.

His company just started a few months ago, and the staff is not enough, and I am the first employee of his new company.

I like Chinese culture very much, considering that I may stay in Shanghai for a long time and decide to learn Chinese well.

When I was in France, I studied Chinese for over a year, so now I need a Chinese to practice speaking with me every day.

However, with the development of my boss in foreign countries, I am also a poor egg. Besides the cost of renting and daily use, the cost of Chinese classes is very much not expected to be borne by myself.

I passed the boss ditch and hoped that the company would pay all the expenses of my language course.

Because the boss himself is also a Chinese lover, he is also learning Chinese, so he understands it very well.

After we talked about the conditions, the final agreement was that I paid more for the tuition paid by the company for more working hours per day.

Now, every day, I have a Chinese teacher to talk to me and teach words, but the price I pay is nearly 15 hours a day.

Due to the fact that at the early stage of the creation of the company, it is indeed a very special period, and it also requires people's high intensity work, so my contribution is still very important for the company.

In this way, I realized the exchange terms with my boss at my own time.

"Look at the mountains"

Jason an operation assistant of a network operation company.

Talking to the boss is a matter of time, place, benefit and harmony.

The timing is wrong, the situation is wrong, and the boss is in a bad mood.

Every time I have anything to say to my boss, I am very careful about timing. Sometimes I even have to create my own opportunities.

On one occasion, I went to see the client with the manager. On the same day, due to some unexpected circumstances, we bought some things for our customers temporarily, so we incurred a lot of extra expenses.

I took the initiative to pad the cost first, and bought things just right, and the communication with the customers went very smoothly. The manager was very satisfied at the moment.

On the way back, the manager rightly added, "go back to the finance department for reimbursement."

Therefore, I took the opportunity to strike a hot iron and mentioned that I was very careful when I was invited to eat when I went out to work alone, but when the manager was happy, the fare that I had to go home after working overtime for several weeks was approved and reimbursed.

So it's very important to act on the machine. It's the truth that we say "look at the mountain".
