Working with Bosses

The most significant factor impacting your job satisfaction is your relationship with your direct manager. The value of a good relationship is that it gives you a solid foundation when stressful times arise. Without one, you don’t have the open communication and sense of trust needed to resolve issues between you quickly. If they go unaddressed, these are issues over which you could grow fatigued and frustrated and eventually, quit. Instead, you should have a strategic plan to “manage up” and figure out how to work with it more effectively. No matter how good or bad your manager may be, it’s vital and, honestly, it is your job to make this relationship work. Why leave the quality of that relationship solely in your manager’s hands? Here’s what you can do to change and start managing up. 1.  Embrace the Mission:  Your job is to support your boss’ success. That’s what you were hired to do.

What's blockchain? Blockchain is technology for creating permanent, secure digital recordings that don’t rely on any single person or group. Blockchains can record any information, though the first example was created to record bitcoin transactions. Imagine the blockchain as a book of records. Each page in that book, is a block, and can record anything. Blocks are created one after the other, chained to each other creating what we know as the blockchain. Multiple blockchain records are maintained simultaneously by a large group of unrelated individuals and their computers, making it cloud storage on steroids.

What's bitcoin? Bitcoin is the first digital cash created in 2009. It was made by an unknown person or group who went by the name, Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is unique because it does not rely on government/bank created money. In addition, transactions occur directly between pseudonymous people (their real names are not known), meaning there are no banks or middlemen. Each transaction is recorded on a digital record kept by many people across the world known as the “blockchain”. Because there are so many copies being simultaneously maintained, the banking data is very safe and virtually impossible to manipulate.
