    I'm used to working in an SME company where a lot of approvals can be asked directly from our CEO without middle person like manager/HOD etc. Now working in a big MNC, I begin to feel stressful just waiting for approvals from different levels before work can be finalized. Waste so much time and i think it's counter-productive. Should I address this to my boss?

        Transitioning from SME to MNC can indeed be challenging, especially with approval processes. Maybe discussing your concerns with your boss could lead to a more streamlined workflow?

          I agree with you that working in a big company often requires several levels of approval for certain tasks or projects. However, we can always communicate with our boss and express our concerns if it affects our productivity. Don't worry, you'll likely get used to it over time.

            It’s worth discussing your feelings about the approval process. Frame it as a concern for efficiency rather than a complaint.

              When you talk to your boss, offer constructive suggestions on how the process could be streamlined without compromising the necessary checks.

                Seek your boss’s advice on how to navigate the approval process more effectively, which shows you’re proactive.

                      Be prepared for your boss to explain the reasoning behind the process. Understanding their perspective can help you adjust your approach.

                        Show initiative by offering to assist in managing some of the approval processes if it’s appropriate, demonstrating your willingness to adapt.

                          Keep the conversation professional and solution-oriented, avoiding any emotional frustration about the change in process.
