FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO - IN YOUR OFFICE

1. Being a sloppy e-mailer - best time to respond is less than 4 hours and remember, your words depict your personality
2. Confusing informal with disrespectful - be careful when communicating with managers and colleagues; choose your jokes smartly
3. Taking advantage of leeway - if you are not caught one day, don't make it a habit as you may be caught another day; also people keep forming opinions about you even when you don’t know it; short cuts, cut your professional life short
4. Acting as a resident contrarian - don't negate just everything, be logical otherwise people will start leaving you out of decision making
5. Bad mouthing about the company - don't do it; poses questions on your loyalty in current and future assignments; stay positive
