What to Do When You're at Work

  • Be on time: If you're going to be more than a few minutes late, call ahead.

  • Don't lose your temper with customers: You can lose your job for yelling at a customer. If you feel like you're going to lose your temper, take a minute, count to 10 and calm yourself down before you say anything.

  • Don't argue with your boss or co-workers: Even if they're wrong and you're right, arguing isn't going to help. Instead, explain to them what you think the problem is and try to work together to solve it.

  • Have a positive attitude: Who wants to work with someone in a bad mood? Leave your troubles at home. When you're at work, stay positive.

  • Ask questions: Make sure that you understand exactly what your job is. If you're not sure how to do something, ask your boss or a co-worker. Better to ask and get it right then have to do it all over again.
