what you expected

department but with time and change of
requirements, your task has been modified
or changed and end up doing the work you
never expected .

and dislikes .This will help the manager to
utilize your skills in a more effective way.

3. Workload
Overwhelmed with workload

approach or to fill the shoes of an absent
employee, you need to take other work.

since you will have a whole lists of tasks
to complete.
How to fix:
Approach and convince him that your
workload is unbearable . Help in
prioritizing work.

4. Difficult Co-worker
Problems faced by working
with a difficult colleague

meet few people with whom
working is difficult . Every
conversation with that person
devolves into disagreement and
tussle which can be harmful for
the shared project.
How to fix:
Keep your ego aside and
appreciate each other .

5. Personal Working Style
Your style of working
Everyone has a different style
of working; especially
sometimes it can be about
your productive timeline.
How to fix:
Identify your strength and
how to incorporate it to
increase your productivity.
Request for flexibility in the
set working style and assure
that it wont degrade the work
or delay it.

6. Major Blunder
Made a major mistake
Suppose you are working on a
crucial task and due to some
unintentional mistake, the project
got delayed.
How to fix:

your work

that you did all the hard work but
the person who was included at
the end or presenting it took full
credit.

someone else claims all your work.

your co-worker anyway takes all the
credit then be fearless to tell the roles
& responsibilities . Do not worry
about not being called a team player.

8. Work Not Acknowledged
Boss doesn’t notice your
work
You’ve been peeling off your best
effort to deliver the project on time
but none of your performance has
registered in your manager’s radar.
How to fix :
Become your own advocate and
time to time, highlight your key
victory by keeping your boss in
the loop.
