A Few of the First Amazon Reader Reviews…

Great tips to survive & thrive at work!
“Is it Monday Already?!” is a fantastic guide to how to best survive and thrive in corporate america. This workplace “bible” should be put in every new hire packet at all jobs. It include very practical but important tips on items such as networking, communication, conflict resolution as well as other very practical elements of the workplace. Not only are the tips great, but the easy to digest and easy to implement suggestions make this book a hit. Every HR manager should consider adding this to the suggested employee reading list, right after the company policy manual.”

Tomorrow is Monday – tips to make work a happy place.
“Is it Monday Already really hits the nail on the head about irritants at work and what each of us can do to avoid making a work faux pas. The book was written for people who have lost their passion for their job and going to work is a chore they do not enjoy. I actually like my job, but read the book because I have several employees who seem unhappy or under-enthused about coming to work and giving it their all. I found the book to be very helpful with tips and resources about what I can do from the management perspective to make the place you spend the majority of your time a likable environment. The book focuses on the three areas (work relationships, corporate processes, and policies that must be followed to get the job done) that can bring an employee work distress and the book truly offers 193 tips of how to make things better through gratitude, kindness, exercise and mindfulness. Ultimately, a person’s happiness is under their own control, but we as coworkers and colleagues can do things to make the environment better for everyone, i.e. there are tips on email and cubicle etiquette as well as dressing for work and office outings. The book also speaks to what each of us needs for personal happiness. I found the book to be wonderfully insightful and plan to start using the tips on tomorrow because it’s Monday already.”

A Guidebook for A Good Office Experience
“Is It Monday Already? is a great reference for anyone working in an office environment. With more than 40 years of work experience, I think this book is a great read for anyone just beginning a career or for those of us who have been working for a while, but find ourselves dreading each morning, because of the people who work with us or the rules the organization requires we follow. I especially appreciate that this book focused on what each individual can do make the work experience more enjoyable (or at least bearable). Yes, maybe a new job is what I really want, but this book gives practical advice about how I can maintain my sanity in the interim. It’s a thought-provoking, “easy” read, with practical and “do-able” suggestions.”

I Can’t Stand My Boss!

July 13, 2016 by Wilma Jones

I can 'the stand my bossI Can’t Stand My Boss!

I was at a women’s event this weekend chatting it up with a few ladies I had just met. The event host happened to mention I was an author and of course, we started talking about positivity.

I told them the name of the new book, Is It Monday Already?! and folks started volunteering the reasons they dread Mondays. Then one woman broke it down. She told me she didn’t look forward to Mondays because she didn’t like her boss. In believe her exact words were, “I can’t stand my boss!”

Social connections are the number 1 indicator of a person’s happiness on the job. Social connections are your relationships with your coworkers. The most important colleague is your boss. If you don’t have a good relationship with the person you directly report to, more than likely, you don’t like your job.

Workplace research has proven that social connections boost worker productivity and make them more engaged in the job. In addition, there is less job turnover. Having a social connection doesn’t mean you have to be friends. Although that certainly is the case for some people, it can also backfire if something personal begins to impact the job relationship.

Developing social connections with others means being courteous and friendly. It means watching the little micro-aggressions we commit that sometimes we don’t even realize. Small things like saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ on a consistent basis is a good way to start. Being kind and mindful of others is a great way to continue. Because we know those small things make a difference in the work environment.

I asked my new acquaintance, (because you know we started establishing a social connection as she shared her story) why she felt like she did about her boss. She replied, “Because he doesn’t care about me…So I don’t care about him either.” She’s been on the job for less than a year and I doubt if she will be there for more than another year. As soon as it’s acceptable on her resume to transition, she’ll be at a company where her boss respects and values her.

Thoughts on Mindful Commuting in the 21st Century

Whether you’re a business owner or an employee a few things about working life are pretty consistent. Unless you’re one of the small percentage of  soloprenuers who work from home with no human interaction. For the remainder of us we all have to deal with coworkers. But first we have to manage our commute. In […]
