You can’t read minds. None of us can. Also, you probably haven’t figured out how to read behavioral patterns from the people that work with you.
Ask.
Please understand, any boss who thinks that you’ve already met expectations will just set different or higher standards for you… nobody is going to let you keep making the same money with just coasting after you’ve reached goals.
Remember, sometimes the things that you think are important or you take great pride in, do not match what your bosses see, agree with, or want.
ASK.
AND, AT THE SAME TIME ASK FOR A FOLLOW-UP MEETING TO REVIEW ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THE QUALITY OF YOUR WORK.
No one-hour meetings are needed. Just touch base so that they see your work and you know that you are heading in the right direction for what they want from you.
