busy' and 'that's not my job'.

out of earshot of others.

 It is shabby to look through people's computers, emails or
letters -- and don't ever make the mistake of sneaking into
people's personal property like handbags or wallets. Be

your expensive items, everybody else becomes a suspect and
nobody likes being one!

permission and when you do always return it in good
condition.

orderly. Do not infringe on other people's space.

(religion, politics, money etc).

after yourself when you use the restrooms so the next person
using it does not have to scrunch up his/ her nose!

Note what has been said and return to it later with the chair's
permission.

relevant.

success. Envy and jealousy among co- workers ruins the

your way into the office. On your way out, remember to
thank the receptionist / office boys etc.
