I don't think this is necessarily true for part-time managers -- those folks that have productive work to do, but also have a team of people to do formal paperwork, timesheets and such for.
If you don't tell your management that you're unhappy, you're bound to remain unhappy because your management may not notice that you're upset, at least not in a specific way. Being given a clear problem, "I'm unhappy because of _____," gives us an actionable goal to work toward to making your work life more enjoyable.
Management aren't mind-readers, and it's particularly frustrating when you ask an employee if anything is up and they say "no," when you know there is an issue.
- tixocloud 11y agoTrue but that's where great managers differ from mediocre managers. Great managers have stronger EQ qualities that help them sense when potential issues may arise. They have good self-awareness on what's going on without being buried in the productive work.
- mattlutze 11y agoEven "great" managers don't know what's going on in your personal or internal life unless you tell them. And most managers are, statistically, going to fall into good/mediocre/poor categories, all of whom will doubly need you to tell them when something's up.
