How do I connect with my manager?

He's always rushing around and mostly says one-word sentences. There's this one employee there who's also his friend, and he's the only person he actually stands around and talks with. It's the only time I don't see him fast-walking and talking business.

I've mostly just been giving him space because I don't want to irritate him. But I want to find a way to get him to like me as an employee or at least communicate that he likes me as an employee.

You want to be actual friends with him or do you want that he likes you as a co-worker?

@Michmich Hmmmm okay. What do you mean by review, though?

@SinlessOnslaught Like asking for the managers opinion on how you’re doing, what you’re doing great, what you can do better etc

There’s probably a lot of turnovers at your job. Where people come and go and you don’t see the point of connecting or small talk with someone who is eventually gonna quit .. let him see that you are worth his time by your performance and maybe you’ll get a “how bout those cowboys”?? Then you will say “they still suck” and start the cycle back all over again 🙂

@SW-User Yeah there is a lot of turnover, unfortunately.

@gdon39 Last time a guy asked me to message them about a job, they sent me a dick pic. 😅

@SinlessOnslaught I bet he was a real winner or wiener. lol. Do what you want.

There are many ways to begin to understand the personality traits in the work place. Perhaps that’s enough for you to begin to understand.
