23、ring a vacation or on a weekend. Dont cheat and write, “Everything.“ It may feel that way, but that s not helpful.C)“If you hate your boss, write down the things you hate about her,“ Ms. Rosenberg said.

There are some companies where “your boss sees you and your colleagues only as a resource to be used and exploited,“ he added.
31、“Dont expect or look for appreciation to be expressed or for your good work to be acknowledged. In this situation, employee appreciation is an oxymoron.“H)So what can you do?

Ms. Russo
35、 said she had complained a lot to her friends outside work, which might help deal with the pain. But, Ms. Rosenberg, the career columnist, cautioned against grousing too much to your colleagues at work.K)“They say misery loves company, but you dont want set a tone in the office,“ Ms. Rosenberg said.
