Checklists of what to avoid at a work-place

1. Absenteeism / Tardiness

  • Be at work whenever you possibly can.
  • Arrive at work a few minutes before the time you are schedules to begin working.

2. Criticism

  • If you receive criticism, do not take it personally, blame anyone else, make excuses, or be defensive.
  • As difficult as it may be, thank the person who provided helpful criticism, even if you are feeling defensive about it.

3. Messiness

  • Keep yourself personally neat: hair combed, shirt tucked in, shoes polished and clothes pressed.
  • Messiness communicates lack of caring.

4. Obscene Language

  • Avoid obscene language or behaviour, an obscene word or act.
  • Obscenity will do nothing to advance your career.

5. Personal Calls

  • Limit private phone calls to only the most urgent

6. Personal Problems

  • Keep personal problems at home. Even when your co-workers are your friends, keep discussion of personal matters out of the office; you can share them outside without alerting the entire staff.

7. Privacy

  • Respect other’s privacy by not eavesdropping on their conversations or reading things on their desks.
  • eavesdropping – to listen to what is not meant for one’s own ears, without letting oneself be seen.

8. Reprimands

  • Never correct or reprimand someone in front of others.

9. Temper

  • Do not lose yours. Walk away, count 10, breathe deeply, and do not give in to temper. If you do, apologize immediately.
  • If someone else does, in front of you, excuse yourself and go elsewhere to avoid unnecessary confrontation.

10. Wasting Time

  • Be at your work and if you have nothing to do, perhaps you can help someone else.
  • Phone conversations are not the only way to waste time. Wandering around, and talking to fellow workers area equally popular.

Remember:

Job satisfaction is a function not only of how much a person receives from the job situation, but also of where he stands with respect to his level of aspiration.
