Hi readers, welcome to my post. I want
to share my thoughts about office behavior. One or other time definitely you
get trapped into an embarrassed situation in office where either you are blamed
for nothing or caught for what you have done. Both the situations are not
really easy to face. We might not able to avoid all the bad situations but
atleast from our side we can put good effort to make a difference.
Following points I strongly feel are
the most important behavioral changes one need to take care of. Some of
things you’d rather not do in your office are:
Never ever Spread Gossip or Office
Politics:
This point is the very first and
important one to be corrected immediately. Be very careful about telling
even a trusted coworker anything that you wouldn't want everyone to know. You
may be great at keeping a secret but not everyone is so virtuous. The point
might be a secret or just for fun to you but need not be the same with others.
Words get mangled. By the time when your words reach to the other end, it might
lead to some different meaning which even you never think off. If you hear
something from someone, try to keep it up to you and first confirm.
Gossiping and taking part in office
politics not only spoil the office environment but it affect innocent people
and sometimes it may take a toll on one’s job. If you have any
problem better to raise to the right person directly than talking behind.

Keep your Temper in control:
Office is a place where one must be
control especially with emotions. In emotions the important one to
mention is anger. If you are short tempered or not able to control your anger
then better to take part in Anger Management Course. Really, sometimes your
boss or co-workers or other situations might irritate you and may cause to lose
your temper, but you should not cross your limits like shouting at co-workers,
throwing things at them, scolding or hurting them. Showing your Temper in
office is a BIG NO.
It not only causes damage to you
reputation but also affect your career growth. So be patient, everything will
be in control with time.

In my work experience I have seen many
people who do illegal things in office premise. I don’t want to mention the
things like bribing, accepting gifts etc. These days it is getting much common
to browse illegal sites like porn, social networking, online trading, watching
movies etc. There is no blockage of these sites does not mean that you can do
or watch anything you wish.
Just think if you were caught red
handed while watching a porn site, how shame!! Keep in mind; all the browsing
activities are tracked by your IT department. If required they can takeout the
whole history.. If you were caught it will become a remark on your career.

Don’t be late without proper
reason:
Being late to office, once in a while
is not considered seriously, but consistently late is a mistake. If you have
any personal or family problems better discuss and inform the management prior
to get highlighted. Take permission that you will be late for 2 days etc. Just
think if you are a boss will you allow your staff to be later than you?

Don’t utilize office property for
personal use:
This is widely seen office mal-ethic.
People tend to feel the office property as their own. This is not good at
all, even it is not highlighted. Taking too much of printouts, using office
vehicles for personal use, making too many phone calls etc shows your fickle
mentality. Keep in mind that every stationary item has its maintenance. So be
careful before over utilizing things.

Don’t be loud while talking:
I have seen many people who starts
group discussions in office that too in office hours. While talking they never
mind about other people and talks loudly. Some people talks so loudly over
phone that everyone in office can hear their conversation.
This type of behavior is very bad which
not only reviles about your things but also shows your bad manners in office.
Smell good and dress neat:
I am not supposed to write about this
point. This is the basic thing a person should follow in the
office. But some employees never care for this. I hear this from
many of office staff. If you smoke or eat something smelly, be reminded to
clean your mouth before you start to work again. Better to have some mouth
fresheners like mint, polo etc.
Another thing to mention is dress code.
Office is not a place to show our fashion sense. So wearing round neck
T-shirts, Torn jeans, and shorts not at all accepted except if company policy
allows. Your appearance is the mirror of your mind.
Don’t over utilize the break times:
Employees take short breaks during
office hours like for smoking, tea and lunch break etc. Break time is important
but it should disturb your minimum office hours. Every organization
has its own working hour policy for employees, like 8 hrs per day. From this 8
hours if you spend 2 or 3 hours on short breaks then you are not doing justice
to your employer. If you want to take short breaks, keep them ‘short’…
Never think that no one observes you.
When time comes, even small issues will be highlighted.
Be polite with female coworkers:
This is an important point to stress.
Be polite and gentle with female staff. If they play joke or a bit close to
you doesn't mean you are granted to do anything with them. Even your
funny act may lead to big trouble.
Don’t put blame on others:
Without any proper reason don’t put
blame on others. If there is any fault from your side, admit it humbly. No
human is 100% perfect. Accepting one’s mistake never degrades his importance.
But make sure you don’t repeat the mistake. Just to escape some difficult
situation putting the blame on another innocent person is very wrong. You may
escape the situation instantly but the impact will be longer and bad. So never
do this.
