Dear MOTIVATION: I’m feeling overwhelmed and unsupported at work. My manager expects me and my team members to deliver immediate results but offers little to no guidance or support. I often find myself frustrated and unsure of how to proceed with my tasks. It’s affecting my motivation and productivity. I want to discuss my concerns with him, but I’m unsure about the best approach. How can I express my frustrations without coming across as confrontational? I want to foster a more productive working relationship. — FRUSTRATED IN MARYLAND
DEAR FRUSTRATED: It’s crucial to address your concerns directly but tactfully. Consider scheduling a meeting with your manager to discuss your challenges. Prepare specific examples of tasks where you and other team members felt unsupported, and propose potential solutions or ask for guidance on how he envisions achieving those immediate results. Approach the conversation as a collaborative effort; express your desire to succeed and contribute positively. This can pave the way for a more constructive relationship and clarify expectations moving forward.
