I would like to share with you the solution that I offered to my friend. The chief complaint was that loads of work was being assigned to him. Adding to his misery, occasionally non-related work would also get assigned to him. And, despite doing his best - he was not being recognized as a contributor to the company.

My solution was as follows:
  • Get your boss on your side and initiate a conversation with him regarding the issue. But this needs to be done in the right manner. You should seek permission to meet him and fix up a convenient time a day or two in advance.
  • Create an agenda for the meeting before the scheduled date.
  • Meet him for the required time and run through the agenda one by one. Ensure that you keep your cool.
  • Keep making notes of the discussion.
  • Close the meeting with a possible solution.
  • Once the meeting is done, head back to your seat and email the minutes of the meeting. This helps in two ways.
    • Your boss takes the meeting seriously,
    • If things don’t work out and the problem still exists, you can at least in the very worst case forward that mail to the concerned person in the HR department.
Please feel free to leave a comment below if there is anything more that you would like to know.
