Question: What do you do when your boss is too busy to give you work to do? I am an assistant to a very busy business owner. I do anything that I'm asked to do. But a lot of times, my boss get too caught up in her own work to stop and assign anything to me. I feel like I'm being lazy and she's doing all the work. I don't try to do this. When I go to her office to get some work to do, she tells me to come back when she's not so busy. I often times sit with nothing to do, feeling like I could be punished at any time for not doing work. What should I do?

Answer: You have two options.\n1. Pace yourself. Spread out your work into the next day if possible.\n2. Volunteer. (NEVER DO THIS)\n\nHope that makes it an easy choice!
