UFO Recession Tip 10 - Be a Brown-Noser (Part 1)

Recession times take drastic measures. No job is safe. Do you understand? Make a strategy to insure your job is safe from downsizing or layoffs, and hang on tight! It is only going to get worse. The
bottom line is that besides knowing your sh*%, you also need to become a MAJOR BROWN-NOSER.

Even aliens know about SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. When the going gets tough and layoffs start going down, your boss is going to choose either you or some drone next to you. I hope
it is NOT you. If it is going to be you, then make sure you follow these Brown
Nosing Tips:

Brown Nosing Tip 1: COMPLIMENT your boss, sincerely, of course. Tell them you like the clothing they wear. Even better, compliment them on their massive
brain power. Make sure they know you think he/she is a genius.

Brown Nosing Tip #2: Make sure they know they are your HERO. Proudly display a picture on the wall in your office with them and you. Make sure you
have other photos or they might become fully aware that you are brown nosing.

Brown Nosing Tip #3: Get to work EARLY, skip lunch, form some kind of committee that focuses on saving company money and LEAVE LATE.

Brown Nosing Tip #4: Take COFFEE to your boss each day. Preferably from Starbucks because that will show them you care. If you do not have a budget for
the boss's coffee, then forgo your own coffee and get him/her some damn coffee!
And make sure the Starbucks barista writes your name on the cup really big so
your boss will remember you throughout the day.

Brown Nosing Tip #5: Find any excuse to give your boss a WRIST WATCH even if it is not their birthday. Since the
recession is here, check out Fossil watches. We hear they are not too expensive
but they are cool. Your boss will be flattered you think they are so hip.
Whenever your boss wears the watch, make a point to ask him/her what time
it is - at least twice per day. They will remember you.

Brown Nosing Tip #6: Join your company's SPORTS team. If you are skilled at sports and your company plays basketball,
soccer or softball (recession-proof sports), start training! Good players on
the company team are last to be laid off.

Brown Nosing Tip #7: Get close to your BOSS'S FAMILY. If your boss has offspring, offer to be a substitute
babysitter. You love kids. No, you adore them! Let it slip into the
conversation that you plan to have kids and would love to take their kids out
sometimes to have some fun. Tell your boss you are one of 11 offspring and that you miss your siblings and babysitting makes you feel like you are back home.

The boss will take the bait. Especially since your babysitting is free. The boss is in recession too. This will insure job security. If you have offspring of your own, encourage them to mingle with the boss's offspring.
