When you are doing favors for people, are you thinking, "If I do this then they should do something for me in the future"? You may not think about it when you are doing the favor, unless it was more of a if I do this then can you do that for me. So, when the time comes and you need a favor from someone, the first thing you do even if you don't think about it too much is try to find a time when you did something for them that way you make them feel obligated to do something for you. In my past experience I feel that no matter what I do getting someone to do something for me if like pulling teeth. For example:
I worked for 3.5 years at a place and I had covered almost every single person in that business for one or more shifts that way they wouldn't get fired, yet whenever I would need to find someone to cover a shift for me, I would have to ask everyone in the place, and usually not get anyone to cover for me. I only missed 2 days out of 3.5 years and that still didn't matter to the bosses when they went to get rid of me. Now after I am no longer working there, they can see how much I really did for the company and that they can't find someone to even cover the shifts that I used to work. This just goes to show that I was a great worker and that if I were to have been able to find someone to cover the shifts that I had missed, both were medical related, then they wouldn't have to hire 15 people, all which seem to have quit within weeks.
