Ask The Experts:

Some of the topics you can comment on this week are:

1. One of our team members barely puts in any effort when our boss assigns us projects, but he reaps the same rewards because the boss evaluates us as a group instead of individually. One team member suggested creating a chart that could be used to record each person's contribution to the next project, then take it to our boss with any other data or summaries that we would normally turn in. Now, no one has ever actually confronted this guy about his lack of participation, but we've all complained about him behind his back. Slipping a chart to the boss seems underhanded and unfair when we've never even bothered to tell our slacking team mate how we feel. What should I do?

2. My friend has been trying to find a job since we graduated in May of this year, and she can't seem to understand how I was able to find a job within two weeks - I have great connections - and she hasn't been able to get past the first round interviews in almost six months of trying. I feel for her and want to tell her about a job that just came available where I work but, quite frankly, she's like Eeyore. I know this company prefers to hire people with more Tigger-like personalities. How can I make her see that she needs to be more positive? Would it help if I told her it could help her land the job that opened up where I work?

About WOE Enterprise

A few years ago my life hit rock bottom. I looked into the bible and I saw the word woe. I also wanted to see how the dictionary defined woe. Woe meant trials or tribulations. In life a woe to you might be a job loss and to another it might be a broken relationship.

One day I was thinking how I could reinvent my life so I wrote down the word woe on a piece of paper. As the document spoke to me it revealed that woe now meant WOE as in Word of Encouragement. From there I received this slogan.

“Before you leave work or go to sleep tonight, give someone a WOE, a Word Of Encouragement.”
