Back in my old corporate days, when I was a VP working for a big internet company, I had a simple rule for my employees:
They couldn’t simply come into my office with problems.
I had enough problems of my own to deal with, I didn’t need to fix theirs.
If they had a problem they wanted to discuss with me, they knew they also better have at least put some thought into a solution to go with it. Maybe the solution needed more work, or my approval, which was fine as long as they weren’t just coming in to bitch about the problem.
For some of you, I’m taking away your right to bitch. Watch the video to learn why.
