Dont get caught doing any of these 5 things at work in 2018
Dont get caught doing any of ansicht 5 things at work in 2018Dont get caught doing any of these 5 things at work in 2018Before you know it, 2018 will be here. Heres what leid to do at work in the new year.Being a know-it-all coworkerBlah, blah, blah we get it already, you know-it-allYou may think that youre right again, but it might just be that people fear challenging your viewpointsbecause its always your way or the highway when collaborating on team projects.So give someone else the floor for a change, andresist the urge to name drop your industry connections during every aussicht you get - youll look just as insecure as you probably feel.Ruining other peoples daysScience says that witnessing rudeness at the beginning of the day can ruin the rest of it, but that doesnt give you a free pass to take it out on others.So the next time you want to complain to the person in the cubicle next to you about how you didnt get what you want (yet again), remind yourself that its a part of lif e and find a healthier outlet to let out your frustration.Go for a walk. Hydrate. Make a brief phone call in private if you need to reach out to someone outside of work. Hit the gym later.But if someone is bringing your mood down at work, back up - dont verbally lose it.Failing to put yourself out there - even if you dont succeedYou just might have nothing to lose.Monster Contributing Writer Megan Malugani writes about how you shouldnt be blending into the woodwork in the new year.Even if youve always had ahard time speaking upin meetings or expressing your opinion to your boss, its never too late to start putting in your two cents. Pick one work-related issue that is close to your heart and that youre knowledgeable about. Contribute a few comments on this issue during a meeting - you may be surprised at how seriously people take the input of someone who speaks sparingly she writes.You might not get the reception you wanted, but you cant say you didnt try.Wasting peoples timeSo y ou like to chat a lot.Youre starting to realize that people dodge you because of how much you waste their time in the office.Note to self While engaging with others can help you build bonds with your coworkers, maintain a healthy balance by paying attention to when its ok to briefly catch up at the water cooler, and when its better to attack that huge stack of files on your desk.USING JARRING EMAIL SUBJECT LINESThis threw you off, didnt it? I thought so - all those capital letters are literally screaming on your screen right now.So unless its a dire emergency, in which case you should probably pick up the phone, dont do this to someone else if you expect them to respond cordially online.Other email subject line practices to avoid using one word only, too many exclamation points, and more.You can set yourself up for success in 2018 by cutting out these behaviors.
