What you should NEVER do at work

Like your job?

Here’s how to keep it!

CNN Money has a list of things you should never do at work:

Complain too much  It’s one thing to occasionally gripe about your workload but the more you complain at work, the more likely you are to say something that could get you into trouble.

Volunteer all the time  Going above and beyond IS a good way to get on your manager’s good side.  CONSTANTLY volunteering to take on more work or pick up other people’s slack, though, puts you at risk of spreading yourself too thin or having people take advantage of you…and they will.

Talk politics  Particularly in today’s climate.

Dress inappropriately  Even if the dress-code at your office is casual, you still need to exercise good judgment particularly in the summer.

Come in contagious  If your company doesn’t distinguish between vacation and sick days, it can be tempting to drag yourself into the office and save your time off for something fun.  But you’re putting your coworkers at risk, and you’re more likely to make mistakes on your own work anyway so it’s best to stay home.
