opposite side (с другой стороны) when you have a good one (когда у вас
действительно хороший босс) it makes life really easy (лёгкой). But that
difficult boss truly (действительно) can make (заставить) work, work. And
that’s not what we want. We want to have fun. I’ve been busy with meetings
(встречи) and I really wanna do this video because I’ve been coming across
(имела дело с) during the last couple of times (пары раз) with my meetings,
with my clients, this particular (конкретная) situation. So, I’m hoping this is
really gonna help you. So my number one tip is really important when it comes
to dealing with a difficult boss, well, that is focus on (концентрируйтесь) your
job. You know, you can’t control what your boss is doing or how they’re
behaving (ведут себя). However, you can always focus on your job and
ensure (гарантировать) that you’re doing it to the letter (делаете всё
согласно инструкции). Ensure (убедитесь) that you’re finishing through
(всё завершите), following through (выполняете всё) and being very clear
with what your rules and responsibilities (обязанности) are. That is really
really important because at least it ensures (гарантируйте) that you are up to
snuff (на должном уровне) with your roles and responsibilities
(обязанности), in essence (по существу) doing what you’re getting paid to
do.

Business etiquette in the USA and American business culture.
The Unites States of America has a diverse (разнообразную) , multi-
cultural society with roots (корнями) tracing back (которые приводят)
to various European and other countries of origin. As a rule, Americans
are friendly and informal. Their culture is a comfortable mix of other
European traditions adapted to a more modern mindset (мышление).
Time is an important factor in the US as the local people dislike wasting
(тратить в пустую) it. But otherwise (в другом случае) Americans are
open and flexible, their culture made evident (стала очевидной) through
vast media exposure (огромное освещение в медиа).
However, here are a few tips to help you fit into an American setting and
familiarise (ознакомить) you with the local negotiation laws (законы),
especially if you are visiting the country for the first time.
How do people greet and meet in the US?
