3)no blackmail, to get ahead. this includes BS to make yourslef look like a good canidate for the promotion.. unless you can really do it…don’t even try
4)no hoarding of office supplies
5)no abusing company time (taking a leisurely 2 hour lunch every day is abusing company time) If its not about buisness its wrong.
6)don’t expose your personal problems around. No one cares.
7)dont show up with a hang over.
enjoy the breakroom but don’t leave a mess!! puleeease~
9) Make a point to make sure to CYA…that is going to require a lot of communication.
10) Dont’ F#$%#in step on my toes, and pretend to be my friend. Either you are or your not. Its not a day to day desision.

Tough day at the office?
Seriously, I hear ya! Also, no taking credit for someone else’s work.

How about adding this one.. Whether man or woman, do NOT think that bathing in perfume/cologne makes you smell better to your coworkers.. it’s probably actually making them sick!

wow you didn’t even come close to mine — cell phone abuse and personal music abuse. you must have it good if you don’t have to listen to peoples cell phone calls and prison rap.

Hmmmmmmm…….I’d add:
“dont keep trying to start a conversation with me when you can see I am busy”
“get back from lunch when you said you would, because other people cant go on their own lunch till you return”
“dont smoke in the office and dont expect to skive off all the time having smoking breaks when your colleagues who dont smoke have to stay in the office and work. Its not fair”
“dont eat and drink at your desk. Nobody else wants to smell your eggy sarnies or hear you slurping your ribena”
(To the men) “dont play pocket billiards in front of the women”
“dont look down the womens blouses when you are standing next to their desks and they are sitting down”
(To the women) “dont lean over the mens desks and try to distract the men by showing them your boobs under your low-cut top”
(To the boss) “dont make me sit in an open plan office - I dont like working in the corridor!”
(To the boss) “dont make me sit next to the photocopier or under the air vent”
“when you are on the phone to a customer, keep your voice down because other people are trying to concentrate on their work”
“dont open the window so everyone else sits in a draught”
“dont sing in the mornings - I cant stand noise of any kind before I’ve had half a dozen cups of coffee in the morning”
(to the boss) “dont expect me to have lunch with you in my own time”

All of the above. lol

NO SINGING, please!

All of these are excellent ideas: The borrowing money, heavy cologne, cell phones, etc,etc.
If I could add one, if you work for a small company with a small lunchroom, don’t bring smelly food (like last nights’ fish), heat it in the microwave and stink up the whole place!

In no particular order;
1. do not burn your food in the microwave including popcorn.
2. do not put large thermal lunch bags in the fridge. they are designed to keep food cold. Spend the money for an ice pack.
3. Do not take personal calls at your desk.
4. Do not talk loudly while on the phone. Just because you can’t see us doesn’t mean we can’t hear you.
5. Get your promotion because of what you know not who you blow.
6. Say, ‘excuse me, please, thank you, no-you go first.
7. Stay home when your sick. I don’t care how much a baby sitter costs. Don’t steal my vacation days by making me sick because you’re too cheap to stay home. The world can live without you for one day.
8. Clean up after yourself.
9. come in 5 minutes before your shift starts.
10. Do not be a gossip!

NO gossip.
Respect.

I have some co workers who lack etiquette
I have one guy who does not know the meaning of soap
I have another guy who farts all the time I am ready to slap both of them
