Behaviours to avoid in the office.
We've all heard of people doing some pretty crazy
things at work.The truth is you don't have to throw a chair through a window or
quit in the middle of a presentation to cause irreparable damage to your
career.
No matter how talented you are or what you've accomplished, there are certain behaviors that instantly change the way people see you and forever cast you in a negative light.
Below are some behaviors you should avoid at all costs in your place of work:
1. Backstabbing:
The name says it all. Stabbing your colleagues in the back intentionally or otherwise. Anytime you make someone look bad in the eyes of their colleagues, it is like a stab in the back, regardless of your intentions.
2. Gossiping:
People make themselves look terrible when they get carried away with gossiping about other people. Wallowing in talk of other people's misdeeds or misfortunes may end up hurting their feelings if the gossip finds its way to them, but gossiping will make you look negative and spiteful every time, guaranteed.
3. Taking Credit for Someone Else's Work:
Taking credit for someone else's work no matter how small creates the impression that you haven't accomplished anything significant on your own. Stealing credit also shows that you have zero regard for your team and your working relationships.
4. Having an Emotional Hijacking:
Emotional hijacking demonstrates low emotional intelligence, and it's an easy way to get fired. As soon as you show that level of instability, people will question whether or not you're trustworthy and capable of keeping it together when it counts.
Exploding at anyone, regardless of how much they might deserve it turns a huge amount of negative attention your way. You'll be labeled as unstable, unapproachable, and intimidating. Controlling your emotions keeps you in the driver's seat. When you are able to control your emotions around someone who wrongs you, they end up looking bad instead of you.
5. Announcing That You Hate Your Job:

5. Announcing That You Hate Your Job:
The last thing anyone wants to hear at work is someone complaining about
how much they hate their job. Doing so labels you as a negative person and
brings down the morale of the group.
6. Bragging:
Accomplishing great things without bragging demonstrates strong mentality. It shows that succeeding isn't strange to you.
7. Telling Lies:
Lies have tendency to grow and spread until they're discovered, and once everyone knows that you've lied, there's no taking it back.
Getting caught up in a lie, no matter how small is exhausting and hard on your self-esteem.
