How to survive in the terrarium of associates
Your boss has been in a bad mood for a week now and seems to be avoiding conversations with you. Is he planning on firing you or is he quitting himself? Or maybe he just had a fight with his wife?
You've worked for this company for four years. You have made many attempts to start a conversation about promotion, but it always seems to get postponed. Should you insist, wait quietly or look for a better job?
Having an important visit from "top management" from the central office the day after tomorrow, but the aim and topic of the visit are still unknown, making you think of new and new risks and possibilities for the upcoming visit?
This and many other issues arise on your career path quite often and, boy, they do exhaust us. Day by day we rack our brains about the behavior of our boss or doubt before making an important decision – these thoughts and fears occupy all our reality, eating up our nerves and taking away our energy and time not only from work assignments but from our loved ones. When we close up, the quality of our sleep decreases, we start making mistakes at work or lose it on our colleagues and family – long story short, this definitely doesn't help on our way to dream career.
During many years of my work in the legal department of a large international company I have found myself in similar circumstances and I definitely know how important an advisor could be, who will help pause, take a deep breath and look at the situation not from that only side we have been fixated on, but from many angles. What is more, they can help with things yet hidden or not completely clear.
Using the layout to describe the portrait of your potential client, business partner or a new boss, you can prepare for a meeting very well. Tarot Royal Court – Kings, Queens, Knights and Pages – are a kind of cast of personality types, which can help learn eye color, style in clothing and behavior as well as social standing of your visitor. You can understand which social role your boss will choose – the lenient and warm-hearted King of Cups (and a perfect manipulator and schemer in addition to the abovementioned wonderful traits) or the rational, strict, but fair King of Swords, with their harsh army approach, but very clear system of work and assessment. When checked, your partner may turn out to be a big romantic baby, like Page of Cups, or the harsh, charming and sexy Knight of Wands. Conversations on social roles, motives and secret plans of partners, bosses, close and distant relatives can take forever (what is important is not to switch to gossip).
If you feel that tension is growing, you are stressed and the thought process has hit a stalemate, let Tarot answer your questions and help sort out the situation.
Do not let work issues put you in a corner, when you have an advisor capable of extending a helping hand.
