  • 5., This is a hot button issue for a few people. Sure, there are many job networking sites out there and the in person elevator speech. But don't go bashing your current employer to a complete stranger. Your professional world is smaller than you think. You'll be out of a job and blacklisted in your "Professional Network".
  • 6., Charging drinks for your friends on the company credit card is a huge no-no. For the new inductees to the world of expense accounts, having the power to swipe at the companies expense is a privilege that must be used wisely. 1 unauthorized hotel booking, or diet coke and the next line you'll be stuck in is the unemployment line.
  • 7., There is a very simple, uncomplicated formula to navigating the rules of workplace romance. Unless you are in a peer working relationship and neither of you have plans to climb the ranks...don't do it. Feelings get hurt, people get promoted and one of you will have to transfer.
  • 8., Everyone has baggage. It's a part of life. But please, spare your coworkers the agony of listening to your drama. No one cares about your fight with your significant other, your in-laws unexpected visit, or your lack of toll money in the morning. Everyone is there to do a job and feigning interest in the details of your life isn't on anyone's job description. Unless you're in the mental health field...then KUDOS!
  • 9., We know you're searching for a job. You know it too. Do yourself a favor and try not to tell your employer. Your workplace is a sea and the hungriest shark survives. So think twice about telling your work bff that you're looking to jump ship. They may create a storm for your unexpected sailing.
  • 10., Play nice, play fair, and get on board with the team. Not engaging with others and shirking responsibility at every opportunity will put you in a bad light and cause others to question your commitment to the organization.
