Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, get our tips on working smarter, getting ahead in your career and investing like a pro with ST's business correspondents and editors.
Last week, I wore a back-plunging, tomato-coloured ball gown to the office. My boss asked if I had omelette for breakfast. He's so CUTE.
If that's you talking, my friend, you have a problem. Maybe more than one...but you have a crush on your boss.
In this very fun episode of Work Talk, host Krist Boo bats around reasons for workers who idealise their bosses. We ask if it is more likely to happen to male leaders, and if younger workers are more likely to fall into the abyss of infatuation. Her guests are O-Psych CEO and psychologist Hetal Doshi, and Ms Low Rui Yin, a millennial marketing manager at SGTech.
We promise that you'll never look at the boss the same way again.
