Be Nice to Everybody

After a few weeks in the office, we usually learn to adapt to the environment of our work. Courtesy is expected to be given to our officemates, especially to those ranking higher than us. What we tend to overlook is those that are below us: our subordinates and the maintenance people.

Productive Things to Do at Work

A normal day for a Pinoy employee like you and me is a busy one and full of things to do. But if you ever find yourself finishing all your tasks before the bells ring, you shouldn’t just sit around and wait for the bell to ring. Instead, do productive things to fully utilize your time. Here are some things you can do:

Always Be Productive at the Office

In my previous post, I mentioned how too much work can help you in your career. But what about if you’ve got no work to do for a period of time? Would you just sit around and play Angry Birds in the office?

A Good Problem To Have In the Office

Depending on what kind of company you’re in, you’re bound to face one of these two problems: too much work or too little work. Too much work usually requires you to spend more time working while too little work gets you nowhere. My question is what problem would you like to have? Mine is to have too much work. Why?

Remain Enthusiastic in Your Work

One of the common characteristics a fresh graduate brings to the workplace is his/her enthusiasm to work. Always early for work. Doing the necessary homework. Working overtime. Everywhere they go their enthusiasm shines. Yet after some time, the enthusiasm slowly fades. The energetic fresh grad starts to be late. Sometimes not meeting the deadline. Still working overtime. And the most critical aspect: not being interested to work. What happened?

Separate Your Office and Personal Life

With the advancements in technology, separating your personal life from the office becomes harder than ever. First, your friends and/or family call you during work. Then when you’re outside the office, you’ll receive a text from your boss asking for updates. The line between your personal and office life is now looking blurry.

Dealing With a Difficult Boss

A boss represents the person on top of us in the organization. He/she is the leader and in-charge of how your department or organizational unit moves to the right direction. Sometimes, though, the boss may be a difficult person to work for and in effect, decrease your motivation to give your best in the workplace. You might even be working for one right now. How cruel can life get, right?
