JobsMy job has expanded and I now have three bosses to report to rather than one. I have tried to point out that I can only do a limited amount for each boss, but they don't seem to understand the difficulties involved in reporting to three different masters.
I've worked in middle management for the past few years, and believe that I have a good chance of continuing to move upwards. I've recently been approached about an interim management job, where I'd work on a specific nine-month project for one company, then move on.
