Survival Tips For Offices

Appearance:

• A vitally important aspect of office life is how you come across to management and colleagues. If you want the kudos of being a hard worker, without all the bothersome hard work, then you need to look the part:

• Always look busy.

• Keep your desk covered in piles of paperwork.

• Have loads of programme windows open on your computer.

• Often have your voicemail box be full. Fill it with messages yourself if necessary.

• Wherever you go in office, take files with you.


Appearance:

• Instead of actually working late, just leave your monitor on and leave a cardigan on the back of your office chair to make it look like you are still at the office when actually you're already at home. You could even leave a half empty cup of tea/coffee on occasion (or other crappy biscuit, you wouldn't want to waste a good one).

• Help out workmates with little jobs. It makes you look helpful, and can make you popular, while not causing too much stress, and it makes life easier for them. And of course it makes others more likely to help you out when you're overloaded or don't know how to do something.


• Office Etiquettes

Cell phone Etiquette:

If you bring your cell phone to work, here are some rules of etiquette you should follow to make sure you don't offend your co-workers and your boss.

Change makes you stronger and even more alert.
