Comments on: Rob Frankel’s Ten Steps to Saving Your Butt http://www.jibberjobber.com/blog/2010/02/10/rob-frankels-ten-steps-to-saving-your-butt/ advocacy for the job seeker Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:23:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Rich http://www.jibberjobber.com/blog/2010/02/10/rob-frankels-ten-steps-to-saving-your-butt/comment-page-1/#comment-454097 Rich Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:01:41 +0000 http://www.jibberjobber.com/blog/?p=3206#comment-454097 The essence of this, if not all the details, rings very, very true for me. Even though I'm not in Rob Frankel’s business, and what are these "bonuses" of which he speaks?, the basic principles hold true; and anything that involves coordinating work with or delivering work to anyone else, is in some sense a service business. Actually, following some such list as this is a way to stay accountable to yourself, as well as your boss and your clients. I liked the end of step 5: "This can save you untold embarrbuttment and many, many beatings." Other things being equal, it's always best to work for someone with a sense of humor. You may work just as hard and be just as accountable for your screw-ups, but life's a whole lot better. The essence of this, if not all the details, rings very, very true for me.
