I was recently asked to contribute to an article about How to Deal with a Bad Bonus for Finance Career Tips on the Wall Street Journal Digital Network. My quote was
“… Nonetheless, be sure to clear your head with someone removed from the situation before you take any action, says Kim Ann Curtin, a finance career coach. “Sometimes we jump so fast that the emotions haven’t been fully processed,” she says. The last thing you want is to be in the boss’s office and getting emotional.”
The important thing to remember in this situation, receiving an unattractive year end bonus, is that you clear your head and understand your emotions. Do this before you talk with your manager or boss. An emotional response in the manager’s office will not gain you any favor.
I also had the opportunity to guest blog on Ad Hustler once more. This time my post titled The Middle Way also ties to my quote from How to Deal with a Bad Bonus. In moderation and understanding emotions we can avoid find the middle way to live a more harmonious life.
