..I brought this same idea up on my radio program today and here is what one listener wrote…interesting perspective…<\/p>\n

I was listening to your segment this morning on your radio program regarding what to say if asked by your boss point blank, “Are you looking for another job?”<\/p>\n

I turned to thoughts of my nephew who has Asberger’s. People with Asberger’s are extremely literal. One time I called and asked my nephew what he was doing, and he answered, “Talking to you.” \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I really liked your “answer a question with a question” approach. But if one were pressed for an answer, would one not be able to take a literal approach to the boss’ question by answering, “Not at the moment” or “Not at this time”? In strict literal terms, the answer is truthful, even though evasive.<\/p>\n

Just thought I’d share the idea. Feel free to comment or not!<\/p>\n

not a bad perspective…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
