I am working for a multinational company as an HR Assistant for the last 8 months. I have problems with my boss, such as communication issues (i am not well informed at all on anything that's going on in the company). During the last months my boss did not give me any orientation, i took on recruitment without even knowing the different departments in the company and so on. As a result, i was not too busy as you might guess and this created a bad impression about myself in the company and more importantly to the general manager!. My boss just quit. I could have been promoted if the general manager thought well of me. Now i remain in the same position with probably a new boss and with the general manager thinking that i am at least lazy.
How should I act now? Any ideas? Please help out if you can think of an action plan, as i am in a really bad situation... Thanks! |

I agree with Macromaniac. This is an opportunity to have a discussion with the General Manager. Not necessarily to beat up the previous manager, but to discuss your abilities and how you would like to step up to the plate to turn around the perceived problems of the HR organization. This is an opportunity for you to turn the situation around. Go into a meeting with the General Manager prepared to offer solutions to problem areas. This will require you to do some leg work -- it might even require you to interview your "customers" to understand those problem areas in your organization for development of a turnaround plan. Doing so will show the General Manager that you are committed to your job and the success of the organization and the company.
