Hi, any advice on building relationships with bosses or superiors at a workplace?
Been working out of my home for a couple years and have slacked off on my awareness of office politics; at my job I communicate via a chatroom with others at the company, rather than working in an actual building or office where conversation would naturally occur.
Sometimes my superiors show up in the chat, but I'd feel that sending them a personal message or email like they're a "FB buddy" would be inappropriate.
What would you guys say the appropriate boundaries are and how to try to build rapport with a superior without seeming like a brown noser? Have any of your worked out of your home and had a similar experience to share?
