My new boss is putting me under pressure. She has asked me to take on additional duties even though I’m already swamped. I told her that I’ve hardly a spare minute during the day but she said we’re a team and need to share the workload. I don’t know what to do.

New relationships can bring us on a rollercoaster of emotions and workplace-based relationships are no different. The relationship we have with our bosses is a critical alliance, having the potential to be anywhere from a positive to a destructive force in our lives.
