IS IT APPROPRIATE TO DO PERSONAL JOB OF YOUR BOSS FOR PROMOTIONS

Promotions are dependent upon hard work, not the personal reference.

The personal job of your boss depends on how much personal work is there, if you do not mind doing his personal work then it is ok. But this personal work does not matter for a promotion. Promotion depends
upon your capabilities and your hard work. If you gain something good in the personal work of your boss then why not, just do it. If something is wrong or that it's much more than you think, then you can report it senior management.
Also, note- the boss asks you to do personal work if any work seems wrong in any way then it is time to leave. As well as time to leave if boss personal work interferes too much in your office work.
Keep in mind your job promotion it does not depend upon, you do personal work your boss or does not.

To get promotion these things must be true-

  • The organization has a position that needs to be filled.
  • The employee must be capable of this position.
  • The employee is the perfect person for that position.
  • The employee must express interest in that position.


So, employees who get promoted when opportunities open up, there is no connection with who do boss personal work. keep in mind those employees capable of this position, and management also know this employee more capable.

You can not get a promotion if a position that does not exist

If an organization does not need any new manager then do not ask for a promotion. If there are any vacancies for promotion management let you know. And most important is there is no secret promotion policy so don't
be afraid.

Promotion is not a punishment or reward

Promotion is an official thing there is no game. The organization needs productivity who work hard those employees get promoted. The company needs those employees who help to increase company productivity.

The promotion is not longevity Promotions are not about recompense 

They are about an employee taking a role with different responsibilities than the last role. It is a way for the Organization to fill a vacancy if it needs, Promotion is not a way to get a raise.

Do not become a leader by being promoted, you promoted because you are already a leader.

Find the company's needs and priorities and work to make them successful. You work hard definitely you give a success. To handle problems the same way your seniors do. Lead from your present position.

Work hard and do a good job

* If you are loyal with your work it very helpful to your promotion. The company never promote anyone who is doing a bad job.

The personal job

Most of the boss ask you that you never think you should be doing will be something personal.
For example- you are a software developer, the manager of the company will announce that he is to arrange a party for office guests, but he asks you go to the grocery store to take some food and some fruit to provide his guests. This is so annoying.  This personal requirement is not in your job description, these things are totally a waste of time as well as your own personal time.

What do you do?

Over it. At least you tell your boss that it is not in your job
description.

Taken advantage in the workplace

As an employee, you are expected to perform, complete your tasks in your job description.
In many workplaces some bosses taken advantage to your hard work, they ask for you do their personal work. Some bosses know your hard work they support you and help to grow.

  1.  Ask for overtime-
  2. Treat like a personal assistant.
  3. Handle two jobs- personal or professional
  4. Waiting for promotion and raise.
  5. More responsibilities but No promotion.

Do hard work but no promotion?

Your performance is good but not all the time-  When the time to promotion manager calculates your overall performance your previous job duties and responsibilities and evaluate all think and get promoted. If
your performance is good at one level they think about your promotion. So in management continue performance is important. 
Your management does not want to change your current responsibilities- keep in mind all organizations are not the same, some companies are supporting you to growth. But some organizations think about company productivity if your excellent work in your department when managers do not change your role and responsibilities. And not help to get promoted. 

HOW TO SAY NO WHEN YOUR BOSS ASKED TO RUN A PERSONAL WORK?

1. Remind your boss of your other Responsibilities

Telling your boss you have other duties, ask your boss your previous work is on hold it is more important than personal work and shows your boss is just as concerned about the work that you need to be done.


2. Stop when a line is crossed

In some cases, employees feel concerned to do personal work for a manager, in other cases, this request is immoral or lawless. Then the most important is to draw the line. when it is not in your ethics it may be time to say stop,  if Respectfully expressing concern not work then it's time to say NO. when that fails, then consulting with management.


3. Just doing it

Keep in mind some boss gives you personal work, they think you are capable of it. So when you say NO think about it if there are no issues then you do it, otherwise, you say No. if boss treated you like personal assistant then you complain to management.


WHEN TO SAY NO TO YOUR BOSS, THEN THEY GIVE YOU PERSONAL WORK

1. SIMPLY SAY DO NOT HAVE TIME- if your boss asks for personal work simply say to you have already pending work and you do not have time for personal work. Preparing a list of your all pending work it is a good
idea.

2. SAY TO YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH SKILLS- if your boss gives you some personal work like technical than says you don't know about technology. You don't have the right skills to complete work. If some work is useful
for you then you just do it.

3. OFFICIAL WORK WILL SUFFER- you also say your other work is pending and it's also important to complete.

4. TAKEN ADVANTAGES- not all boss is good. If you work with a bad one it is a chance to they try to take advantage of your skills or your hard work. When you realize they try to take advantage of your skills then
say No without fear.

5.COMPROMISED- in the workplace, your values are compromised in many ways. If you feel it is not good for you than strictly said you do not feel comfortable.

6. IT IS NOT YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION- when you join the job you have known about job responsibilities and duties. So, when your boss asks to do personal work than simply say it is not part of your job.

7. DO NOT RUDE- when your boss asks for personal work do not rude simply say No.

8. STRAIGHTFORWARD- it is important to say no. but it is also important to explain your reasons why you said no, so you always be straightforward. Simple and clear to say no to your boss.

9. DO NOT LIE- it is not in your ethics simply say no, but do not lie. Be honest and say to boss your reasons.
