Forty hours or more each week spent with people we probably don't love and we definitely didn't choose to share space with for an extended period of time. Still, we all need to make money so we try to find the least painful way of doing it.
That being said, there are a few actions to be avoided at all costs.
1. Not washing your hands after using the bathroom.
That's just gross -- and it also helps spread all those lovely viruses and bugs that always seem to shoot though an office with incredible speed no matter how many vitamins you take.
2. Interrupting someone who is eating at their desk.
Chances are, they are eating at their desk (rather than in the lunch room or with you) because [a] they have a lot of work to do, or [b] they just don't want to have to talk to anyone for a few minutes. Either way, interrupting a person in this state is rude. See them eating? Come back again later.
3. Yelling.
Don't do it. No, really -- just don't.
4. Flaming emails copying upper management in situations that really don't warrant it.
I know you want to cover your ass and prove that you are Master of the Universe. But come on -- it just makes you look like an idiot.
5. I'll think of something to put here tomorrow. :)
