The 10 Commandments of Workplace Manners
Hey there! If you’re looking to keep a harmonious vibe at work, here are ten simple rules to follow. Trust me, sticking to these will make your coworkers appreciate you a whole lot more!
-
Thou Shalt Brew Coffee When Empty
Nothing’s worse than coming into the break room and finding the coffee pot empty. If you can spare ten seconds, whip up a fresh batch! And if you’re unsure how to use the coffee maker, just ask someone – they’ll gladly help you out. Ignorance is no excuse for being inconsiderate! -
Thou Shalt Not Be a Freeloader
Avoid being “that person” who shows up to potluck events without bringing anything. If you’re too busy to whip something up, consider calling your favorite pizza place for delivery. Everyone loves a good pizza party! -
Thou Shalt Limit Personal Internet Use
Remember, your online activities at work are being monitored. This applies to your phone as well if you’re connected to the office Wi-Fi. While it’s okay to take a quick break on social media or do some shopping, be cautious. If you’re paid to work, spending hours browsing is basically stealing time from your employer. -
Thou Shalt Keep the Music Down
If you’re someone who can’t concentrate with music playing, it’s best to keep it off, especially in open office spaces. If you must listen to tunes with headphones, ensure the volume is low enough that others can’t hear it. And if you’re in a private office, close the door to keep the peace. -
Thou Shalt Dress Appropriately
Make sure your outfit is suitable for your workplace culture. For example, wearing your favorite Skittles jacket to a law firm might not send the right message. Dress for your role and environment, and keep it professional. -
Thou Shalt Express Gratitude
Your employer doesn’t necessarily owe you perks like holiday parties or bonuses. A simple “thank you” can go a long way in showing appreciation for what you receive. It only takes a moment, but it makes a big difference.
