Nonsense At Work

Risk of knowing more than the boss

Do you realize that knowing more than the boss could cost you that new job?

A friend, let’s call him Pete, recently told me that he knew exactly when the decision was made not to offer him the new job. Pete was having dinner as part of the interview process with the boss and another executive. The other executive was aware that Pete had once worked in the wine industry and so he asked Pete to select the wine. The problem was that the boss deemed himself to be the resident wine expert.

Like many in the Washington, DC area, I spend a lot of time working – lucky for me I love the work I do in technology public relations. My firm is Strategic Communications Group, where our philosophy is great clients. Check us out at www.gotostrategic.com

When not working, I’m often enjoying a new wine or doing some kind of upkeep on my cars — a 1999 M3 and a 2001 530. I hope something you read here makes you smile, think or comment.
