Simply doing the job to the best of your ability...

All the rest of the stuff is rubbish...


Ie who gives a **** if you


Date employees (like where else do you get to know anyone other thin in school?), have long green hair (like it affects your typing, tattoos (like it effects anything), Go out clubbing in naked dress code nightclubs (as long as sober at work and no hangovers),


What does a suit matter? or watch. Watches tell the time and clothes should be practical and reflect who you are


Whats unprofessional is any office politics, bullying, brown noseing, abuse of power, bullying, nasty gossip, being a yes man, backstabbing...


ie Big brother behavour.


Or and having siilly little rules like approiateness condwallop to make up for the fact you ca't do the job.


Ie can't make kids smart, heal the sick, fix a car, fix computer, type fast.



All I give a damn about is can you do the job and support each other.

Answer 4

No gossiping; treating everyone in the same way; not allowing yourself to get drawn into 'office politics'; doing all jobs to the best of your ability.; not winging. Oh and if the boss says ' thank you for doing so and so ' just say
'it's what youre paying me for'.
If you go for promotion make sure it is in a different section/office to your own.

PS if you come up with any good ideas voice them to your boss but make surehis/her boos is in earshot - not completely professional but at least you ideas wont be pinched.

Answer 5

Keep your emotional and private life to yourself. Volunteer to do more then what you are paid for. Get a rhinoceros hide to petty people in the work place.

Your attitude will open more doors for you or allow you to get a good referral if you have to leave your job.
