“Modesty is the best policy”<br />
Just as they may th<strong>in</strong>k their own job performance needs no selfpromotion,<br />
they may th<strong>in</strong>k (not say) the same about others’ work. “I<br />
wish John would stop boast<strong>in</strong>g about what a wonderful job he does.<br />
He seems to spend half the day promot<strong>in</strong>g himself, rather than do<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the work that’s already on his desk.” Th ey oft en fi gure that if the boss<br />
(or anyone else) doesn’t see what’s go<strong>in</strong>g on, they don’t want to have to<br />
be the ones to confront others about this unpleasant reality.<br />
