Focus on the Job. Do not get distracted by your cell phone, your Game Boy, internet sites, problems from outside the office (financial or emotional, medical), etc You are paid to get the job done, anyway that is how your management sees it. Companies are in a micro managing mode right now and they will get you if you do not put 100% of your time on what they assign you to do.
Be a YES MAN or WOMAN. Available for new projects, new challenges, new rules, new roles. I know this one is not a favorite. Take it as a game. Because in the end it is a game. If a company is acting in a way that is in conflict with your deepest beliefs, please seek another job. By being a YES MAN you become a big card for your company.
Do not get into conflicts, with peers or supervisors. Think about it! Do not mix what is impersonal with what is personal. You are at work, it is a social and impersonal place, not a meeting place. Be cordial and courteous, but do not be overbearing and too needy. If you feel someone has a personal Vendetta against you for no reason here’s what to do: avoid that person, take notes down of any inappropriate behaviors and go talk to your human resources department. The best way to avoid conflict are eternally the same : do not talk about religion, politics, philosophy, personal beliefs, personal experiences that relate to offensive subjects or taboos.
Perform at your best and take criticism with all the respect possible. Bring a pen and paper and take notes of comments made on your performances. These notes will also be a reference point if something inaccurate is reported against you.
Be courteous and cordial as I stated before. Ask how people are doing? Smile, be attentive and listen to what others have to say without emitting a strong opinion, just be encouraging and constructive. Do this with peers and supervisors. Do not get into inappropriate conversations or use bad language. If there is a party, do not drink much and do not flirt, please!!
