In today’s world, unless you were lucky enough to be born into unlimited amounts of wealth, or have some grandfather from many generations ago that left either a family business or inheritance to your family, you have what’s called a job, affectionately nicknamed, a “9 to 5.”
Yep… a 9 to 5. It’s that thing that makes every nerve in your body react and rejoice once you step out of the threshold that encompasses so many of these feelings. The only time constraint that is met with frustration besides rush hour traffic. But what if instead of clocking into your woes, you can control them? Here are three quick tips that will allow you to maneuver through your workplace like never before.
Tell the truth, 99.9% of the time:
If something goes wrong with the printer, and you were the last person to use it, don’t go blame it on your annoying co-worker that talks your ear off everyday. Take ownership for anything that occurs in the workplace, good or bad. You will save a ton of guilt and an overlap of lies as well.
Weather the storm:
If things are going straight to hell in the workplace, don’t panic. Just try to get through it as much as possible. Even diamonds are made under pressure.
Work hard:
Nothing trumps hard work, period. If your job sees you going over and beyond just your daily activities, then they will more than likely meet your demands when you need vacation time, or when your sick, etc.
