Neglecting to raise concerns about the supervisor-supervisee relationship is a common complaint of managers. Chances are your boss sincerely wants to know what's on your mind if it relates to your productivity. Issues and problems employees typically hold back sharing - even at a private meeting - include: 1) lack of clarity in instructions provided by the supervisor regarding assignments; 2) perceptions of favoritism or non-equitable distribution of work; 3) absence of feedback and constructive criticism and little praise; 4) unsure about duties and essential functions of a position; 5) micromanagement; 6) need for an introduction to key players and key management officials with whom the employee must interact; and 7) checking email or not giving full attention to an employee in a private meeting. Hint: When bringing a complaint to your supervisor, always connect the concern to its impact on customers, quality of work, productivity, teamwork, and finances. It's a good practice refrain from speaking negatively about your supervisor to other co-workers.
