Things You Should Never Do At a Workplace


here are dos and don'ts for every place that you could ever go to. Sometimes, those rules are required, at other times, they aren't. That said, one of the many places where these guidelines most definitely must be paid heed to, is at your workplace. People often tend to forget that no matter how lenient a workplace it may be, there has to be a level of professionalism that must be followed. Unfortunately though, the increasing rarity of workplace etiquette is something that needs to be checked and brought to order. There is nothing even remotely appealing about a colleague who indulges in incessant talking or noise. But those qualities are not even the tip of the iceberg. There's more to this which must be paid attention to. Today, why not take a look at some of those things you should never do at work.

Top Ten Things You Should Never Do at Work

Truth be told, a list made up of 'what not to do' items could turn out endless, therefore, here is a list of some of the top things to avoid at a workplace.

#1. Do Not Talk Loudly
No, it doesn't necessarily hurt to be opinionated about everything, but if there's one thing that people around you are not interested in, it is listening to your two cents on every last issue in the world. Great, if you are well read on a lot of matters, but trust me, keep your voice down. You may not realize the intensity of the noise you make, but it is important to understand that there are a lot of people sharing the same space as you, and you could be distracting them while they work. Nobody appreciates being disturbed when they are half way through something important. It is Annoying!!

#2. Do Not Gossip
This one is perhaps the most distasteful thing to indulge in, in your professional life. Do not forget, you go to your workplace for one thing only, to work! What a certain colleague does in his or her personal life has never been any of your business, and that is what it should be left at. Unless someone is looking to share their personal affairs with you, do not probe. In any case, since when does someone else's life help you grow professionally? That apart, if you aren't quite the one to start all that gossip or those rumors, make sure you stay away from discussing anything that you may have heard about someone else too.
