Is it ok to toot your own horn to your boss?
I am about to start my first "real" job since college and I had a question. In jobs I have had till now I make sure my bosses know if I start a new thing that makes them more money or streamlines the business. I usually do these things on my own and don't say anything till it’s done. It has won me great respect good ratings. I have found if I don't say what I have done others take credit or the higher ups automatically think my boss did it or told me to do it. So now can I use this in my career my professional life

- you shouldnt be doing things like that for your boss unless you want a lawsuit on your hands... also, other messes on your hands.
- If you toot you're own horn you're boss will or can take offense and get tired of someone boasting. Especially since he/or she is higher up than you. be careful, I would not do it if you want to stay employed.
