What should you never do in the workplace?

What are the things you should never do in the workplace? The workplace is like a battlefield. All the brilliance on the surface and the harmony in the scene are just smoke. There are many people wearing starlight armor, racking their brains to welcome them, and fighting bloody battles amidst all kinds of calculations, all kinds of rumors, and all kinds of interests. Here are 10 workplace taboos to share with you. Don’t violate them easily, otherwise it will affect your promotion and salary increase at best, and directly affect your job at worst.

1. Be on time, not late, and at least arrive before the leader. This is the basic quality of young people who are new to officialdom. It is a red line and should not be crossed easily.

Some people don’t take being late seriously when they are in school. They are used to being undisciplined. They also behave the same way after going to work. They are late for meetings and late for work. Anyway, there are many excuses.

In fact, no matter how busy or busy it is, it only takes a few minutes. The main reason is that I haven’t developed a habit and don’t take being late seriously.

From a human perspective, being punctual is a virtue; not being punctual is disrespectful and a waste of other people’s time; from a work perspective, being punctual is a correct work attitude, and not being punctual is a waste of other people’s time. People who are punctual are difficult to trust by leaders and teams.

2. When there is something that needs to be consulted by the leader, those who can report it in person must report it in person and try not to make phone calls.

Especially when the boss is in the office but you don’t even move and start talking on the phone, the other party will be disgusted.

My previous boss reminded me of this, and I often talk about it to my subordinates. Because face-to-face reporting allows for face-to-face communication and facilitates the exchange of opinions. Leaders also need time to think when making decisions. Phone calls cannot handle this task unless it is a question-and-answer format, such as "Please attend a meeting this afternoon." .

3. When asking for leave from your superior for personal matters, try to make it in advance, and even make a phone call in special circumstances.

Because "asking for leave" itself means "asking for instructions and giving leave". If you ask for leave, others will give it to you. There can be no mistakes in the procedure.

Don’t be cautious, don’t send a text message to simply inform, and don’t cut it off first and then tell it later.

For example, I have received text messages asking for leave such as "I am going on a trip tomorrow". This is not a request for leave, it is a notification. I don't agree. They have already bought the tickets. I agree. To be honest. I feel like I'm being kidnapped, not to mention that sometimes work is really hard to arrange.

Some people do not realize that what they are doing is inappropriate. When the leader refuses to give him leave, he will feel that the leader is unreasonable and playing tricks on others, and he feels that he is being persecuted.

4. When you are on the phone with your boss, after you have finished talking, wait a moment before hanging up. Let the other party hang up first, and then you hang up. It's polite not to hang up right away.

If you don’t believe it, try it for yourself. After someone calls you, the phone hangs up as soon as you finish the last word. It’s a very uncomfortable feeling.

5. Turn off your mobile phone during meetings, or set it to vibrate. This requires no explanation, you understand.

Even if you don’t turn off your phone during a meeting, don’t blatantly answer the phone, play games, use Weibo, or use WeChat during the meeting. This is a sign of respect for the person organizing the meeting.

The leader is on the stage, just like the teacher sitting behind the podium. He can see clearly below. Don't feel that you are hidden. As a newcomer, you should be more cautious.

6. When you come out of the office or conference room, do not slam the door hard, but gently close the door with your hands.

This is really a small thing, but many people really ignore it. Sometimes there are meetings here, and some people go out to make phone calls or go to the toilet, and they don’t know to take them with them. Instead, he opened the door with a flick of his hand, and there was a clang, and everyone turned their attention.

When leaving someone else's office, you should also close the door gently, especially if you open the window in the summer and there is a draft.

Human cultivation is more reflected in the tiny details, and in the humility and care for the people around you.

7. In a quiet environment, such as during a meeting or office, when lesbians are walking, they must pay attention to not making too much noise with their high heels.

If the sound of your shoes is loud, it is best to consciously lighten your steps and walk on your toes.

Some young people are very careless, walking in silence with their heads high and their chests high, their high heels making a clicking sound. Their appearance is very beautiful, but the meaning in the eyes from behind is much more complicated.

In addition, when leaving a meeting, entering late or leaving early, enter through the back door, and try not to move your target too much in front of others.

8. Newcomers who have just joined the company need to have a psychological adaptability to their workplace identity.

It is necessary to transform from being a student and being managed to the position of an independent adult with social attributes.

There are newly graduated students who have always been accustomed to being a good kid, a well-behaved kid, and have parents for everything. They also have the same attitude at work. They always wait for others to urge them. They are not good at arranging plans and lack initiative.

Always remind yourself that you are an independent person. You should complete your own work independently and be responsible for the results. Don’t always expect others to understand you, treat you like a child, and give you special things. Treatment, the consequence of that is that you lose the opportunity to be taken seriously.

9. When a mistake is discovered at work, you should admit it first and then explain the reason.

I have seen some young people who, once they are found to have made mistakes at work, always emphasize their own reasons, objective reasons, and other people's mistakes. I understand their feelings. They are afraid of criticism when they make mistakes. , afraid of leaving a bad impression on the leader.

But the problem is that this kind of attitude is exactly what the leaders dislike the most. They feel that you are prevaricating and evading responsibility. A narrow-minded leader may even think: "You are right, then I am wrong." ?" It might even turn into a personal grudge.

10. As a newcomer, you must dare to show your true self.

Some people who have just entered the workplace and have complex officialdom and personnel relationships are afraid of showing their cowardice, and may behave cautiously.

This is true, but it is not good if you always try to do everything perfectly and always want others to see the good and not see the bad.

From a leadership perspective, those who are too naughty and always on guard in front of themselves are not trustworthy enough.

Just do it as it should be. If it is too perfect, it will be fake. Young people will all make mistakes. As long as they are faced seriously and honestly, mistakes are also the beginning of progress. Anyway, I am willing to give opportunities to young people with true temperament, and I don't like people who appear slippery at a young age.

11. Many young people are prone to make one type of mistake when they first enter the workplace. For a job or thing assigned by a superior, you are not responsible for the final result, but for the process.

For example, there is a meeting tomorrow, and I asked someone to be responsible for notifying it, but the next day there was no one there. I asked him what was going on, but he didn’t know, "Anyway, I sent a text message." I asked again, and he said that the other party didn't reply to the text message, which means that he didn't pursue it since he didn't know whether the other party didn't receive it or was unable to come because of something else.

We must pay attention to overcome this misunderstanding of "I will do it if you ask me to do it. As for the result, it has nothing to do with me". Behind this is an immature psychological state, which feels that work is done for others. Yes, I am passively responsible.

When doing something, doing it is not the purpose, doing it well and being the best is the purpose.

12. Develop the habit of giving feedback on the process and results at work.

Many people tend to overlook this. For example, sometimes I transfer a document to someone for implementation, and he doesn’t believe it for a long time after receiving the document. I don’t know if he can implement it. How to implement it and whether there are any difficulties, I still have to go to him and ask.

In addition, there are some things that are implemented layer by layer. The big leaders arrange for the small leaders, and the small leaders arrange for the specific staff. In turn, they are also responsible at all levels. The big leaders will ask the small leaders for the results. We will ask specific personnel directly, so it is important to provide timely feedback and keep track of the progress.

Feedback on important work immediately, and feedback on unimportant work at an appropriate time node.

13. Pay attention to departmental division of labor and individual responsibilities, and do not use favors to replace work principles.

I experienced this lesson when I first started working. At that time, I was transferred from Department A to Department B. Department A was busy organizing a meeting and asked me for help. All I thought about was that everyone got along well. , departments should cooperate with each other, so we went.

The leader of Department B didn’t say anything at the time. Later he reminded me that if you were helping in your spare time, that was fine, but during working hours and you were no longer from that department, you should Use formal channels to communicate between departments, rather than making your own decisions.

I was still a little aggrieved at the time, but now I feel really grateful to him for reminding me, otherwise I don’t know how long I would have been in chaos.

As a person in the officialdom, during working hours, you cannot act completely according to your emotions and preferences. You must have the appropriate boundaries.

14. Pay attention to the management authority and hierarchical division of work.

Some young people who have just started working look at everyone as their seniors and are more senior than themselves, so they go to work whoever orders them and do whatever work is arranged by them. There is no sense of propriety at all.

Such a result is thankless. You have to know that people belonging to different departments have different leadership and division of labor. If you are in this department, you should be managed by this department and perform the work of this department.

No matter how big your boss is, you should still greet your direct boss when doing official business. "Going to the kang across the pot" is a taboo in the workplace. If you do it, it will be in vain. In the long run, the harm will become A soft persimmon can be pinched by everyone.

15. Don’t take anything for granted. You must verify it yourself and confirm it.

This point is easily overlooked, because people have the inertia of thinking, "I think this is what happened." For example, I asked a junior colleague, "The paragraph written in your material is from a certain person." "Did you talk?" He said casually, "I think so." I went back to check and found that it was not the case at all.

There are many mistakes caused by taking things for granted at work, especially for young people who are new to the workplace. Many things are complicated and complicated, and they all come to you at once, and it is easy to lose track of them. , relying on their own very limited experience to deal with it, neglecting to verify and inspect it.

16. Work must be rigorous and pay attention to the separation of responsibilities.

Once, when I was submitting a report to the central government, I felt that there was something wrong with one of the data. I asked the colleague who filled out the form. It turned out that he didn’t have time to find the specific person in charge of this data, so he compiled it himself.

I told him very seriously that this kind of thing is strictly not allowed in key core departments. Once something goes wrong, the responsibility lies entirely with you.

The young comrade still felt aggrieved and asked them that they might have made it up too. I said that was not possible. Even if it was made up, you have to ask the responsible business department to make it up. We are only responsible for reporting. Really If something goes wrong, it's not our responsibility.

17. When dealing with leaders and colleagues, develop the habit of talking positively and answering questions. Do not often use rhetorical questions or hypothetical questions. This is aggressive and conflicting, and is particularly likely to cause resentment.

For example, I asked someone: "Did you notify so-and-so of the meeting?" What did he say, "I informed his office director. There is nothing wrong with that, right?"

This The answer was particularly disturbing. What he meant was that I didn’t notify him personally. I informed the director of his office. I was right, but my question was to ask about this matter. I didn’t mean to blame him. He was like this Dismissing yourself has the opposite effect.

18. Avoid choosing the wrong line. This is like a woman marrying the wrong man. Not only will it not make you happy, but it will make you miserable for the rest of your life. The same is true in the workplace. If you choose the wrong industry at the beginning and you fail to stop the loss in time, no matter how fast you go, you will not go very far.

19. Avoid following the wrong leader. Why is this a taboo in the workplace? Because whether it is in the workplace or in officialdom, it is important to "take sides." Once you take the right team, it will be like taking advantage of the east wind for your career development, which can get twice the result with half the effort. But if you follow the wrong person or stand on the wrong team, your personal development will be delayed at best, and your job may not be guaranteed at worst.

Twenty. Avoid being high-profile. The ancients summed it up very well, "shooting the first bird", whether it is a unit within the system or a unit outside the system, mainly private enterprises, low-key, humble, rigorous and pragmatic, this is the employee who is respected by more people, especially by leaders. Code of conduct: once you are too high-profile and like to be in the limelight in everything, then the tide will turn and your time of wanton and unrestrained will not and cannot last forever.

In the adult world, the unspoken rules of the workplace like the above, although cruel and heartbreaking, are what you should see through most. Only by truly seeing through can you be a strong-hearted person. Everyone can Only those who cannot be hurt can be understanding people in this complicated world.
