Even if it is sometimes not immediately noticeable because they only show it subtly, there are signs that your boss appreciates you.
Here you can find out which.
The employer * doesn't have to be your best friend, of course.
In fact, professional distance is appropriate in most cases.
Nevertheless, it is always good to know
how the boss
feels about you
: Not only because the work is simply more pleasant, but also to be able to assess whether the performance is recognized and where the
career
can
develop
.
After all, the boss is instrumental in whether you are promoted or, in the worst case, fired.
Some supervisors are open when they
appreciate
their
employees
, provide
feedback, and praise
.
Others are not so easy to look at.
In the latter case, we've gathered some signs here to tell you whether the boss is impressed with your work - or not.
The tips come from, among others, Suzanne Bates, managing director and author of the guide "All the Leader You Can Be" (promotional link).

Five signs the boss appreciates you
The boss asks for your opinion.
If there is a lot of discussion and
disagreement in the team
, and the boss explicitly asks you for your opinion, this is a
good sign
.
Even if he gives you the time and listens carefully when you speak up, it indicates that he trusts you.
The boss challenges you.
Not to overwhelm you and make you look bad, but because he puts you to
a test
with more difficult tasks
: Can you do more work than you think you can do?
Your boss
probably
trusts you more than you think
.
So if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed at times, that might not be a bad sign.
The boss points to you.
Are you the employee other coworkers are sent to when they have problems?
This is also a good sign that your boss values you and
thinks you are
competent
.
You are good at advising others or giving directions.
Do not see this as additional annoying work, but as an opportunity
to increase
your
leadership quality
and show competence.
The boss gives you important customers.
If your boss asks you explicitly to take on a
project for an important customer,
that is a clear sign that he trusts you to master this task competently.
The boss does not shower you with praise.
Compliments and hymns of praise are welcome for a good job, but are rarely given.
But that doesn't mean your boss
doesn't value
you and your
work
.
If you value honest
feedback
,
actively
ask
your
manager for
it.
