Bangalore: There are so many people who tell the employees on how to behave at the workplace. But very few people tell about what not to do at the workplace. There are certain things you need to be careful while doing at the office as these activities may turn negatively towards you at the office. So, here are few things you need to avoid doing at the office as mentioned by Hilonee Furia on the mensxp.com website.

1. Peeping into some others laptop or the desktop:

This activity is the most annoying thing you can do at your workplace. Peeping into some others system is really a bad habit especially in their absence is a ‘big no’. He or she can also be considered as the most annoying person in the entire office. Avoid peeping into some others system to avoid being labeled as the office’s peeping tom.

2. Walking the entire office as though its completely yours:

It is good to be confident and be energetic. But it shouldn’t be proved by roaming around the entire office as though it’s your own. So, try avoiding roaming around unnecessarily and make a very smart move in your activity as it can help you to gain everyone’s appreciation than bitching about you.

1: There are so many donts while we behave outside our home. Your article is really helpful to know what is not said openly by your employers while appointing you. I think these things are not said before to a newly appointed employee because they can be showed ther door at anytime by pointing out the same.

Everyone who wants to work for a long time with flying colours must be conscious about each and everything which goes around them. There are some spy in your office who will stimulate or prompt you to speak about your personal problem. They are the professional trickster in this field. They know that how to get what they want. So one must be careful not to share their emotion with new ones. Being moderate, I think, while expressing your emotion with others will not land you in trouble.

I have read somewhere else that if you are really interested to work diplomatically you should behave both like a saint and a professional. A saint shows little concern about the outside world around him. similary, an employee should keep everything at moderation. This will help him/her to avoid unnecessary involvement with others. At the same time an employee should exhibit their creativity and talent in their profession. So that he/she is not sidelined by their colleague while it is really necessary to take right decision in the meeting or informal discussion.

Whatever the Job they do the people should not violate the professional boundary for their own self good. The constructive environment should give room for a purposeful dialog. The employees sometimes pokes their nose into others personal traits which is irrelevant to the business needs and creates unnecessary stress in the working envionrment and also creates an unhealthy work atmosphere. I think this behaviour is like a virus which plays with the moral of any employee and should be dealt with Iron hand. I think in India the Software Industry people are the one most stressed not because of the Work they do but because of some unwanted external forces acting on them :).
