@egi_nupe A will most likely be charged with armed robbery even though the gun was a toy gun.This is because during the robbery, the toy gun was used to threaten and frighten B into believing it was a real weapon.what matters is the fear and intimidation created during the robbery.
If you work for a company that does “skip-level” meetings. Beware.
Skip-level meetings are where you meet with your boss’s boss.
Organizations promote this as a way to “hear from the front-lines” so that leaders can “really know what is going on, unfiltered.”
This is a trap. Don’t fall into it.
Like they warned us growing up, don’t let it be that it is from your mouth that they will hear that the teacher’s mother is dead.
Look, organizations already know what’s going on. And if they don’t, it’s on them.
Don’t use this as an opportunity to complain about your boss. Or throw him under the bus. Or whine about anything.
It will not end well.
So, what should you use your skip-level meetings to do?
First, and most important, use it to butter up your boss. Your number one job in your company is to make your boss look good. Know this and know peace and prosperity. Everything else is secondary in corporate America.
Use that meeting to tell of the wisdom, foresight and expertise of your boss. Praise his leadership skills and anything else you can say without appearing like you’re trying too much.
Word will get to your boss and you’ll be rewarded for it.
Second, use it to ask directly for favors. It can be anything from connecting you to a mentor to sponsoring you for a training or promotion. Make sure it’s something you have raised with your boss before so that he doesn’t feel offended that you went over his head.
I’ve seen too many careers ruined during skip-level meetings.
Learn to avoid the landmines so you don’t blow up your career before you even get started.
