Bad habbits at Work
What you think: “If it’s only a little late, it doesn’t mean anything.”
What it really says: Your colleagues and boss can’t count on you.
What to do: Don’t view deadlines as negotiable. Remind yourself that people are
counting on you to do your job well, which includes completing tasks on
time. Even if you just barely missed the deadline and everything turned
out OK, you probably caused your teammates a lot of anxiety and extra
work, which they won’t forget.
What you think: “I’m the office free spirit with a quirky sense of style!”
What it really says: You don’t take the job seriously.
What to do: You don’t have to be a boring dresser to be professional, but you
shouldn’t look like you’re about to go clubbing or strutting down a
runway. Take a cue from your co-workers to see what’s considered
acceptable in the office.
What you think: “As long as I get all my work in, nobody cares.”
What it really says: You think your time is more important than everybody else’s.
What to do: Stick to the schedule. Everyone in your office would like to sleep in a
little or leave early, but they don’t because people rely on them to be
on time.
What you think: “I’m discreet.”
What it really says: You’re not doing your job.
What to do: Keep the fun stuff to a minimum. Most employers don’t mind if you check
your e-mail every once in awhile or read your favorite blog for a few
minutes in the morning. They begin to care when you minimize that game
of Scrabulous every time they walk by your desk. You’re being paid to
work, not play.
What you think: “I’m just saying what I heard.”
What it really says: You can’t be trusted.
What to do: Sure, everybody gossips a little here and there, but it shouldn’t be
your livelihood. Eventually you’ll gain a reputation for not keeping
anything confidential –whether it’s a personal matter or work-related.
Plus, your chattering could end up hurting somebody’s feelings or
reputation.
What you think: “Everybody complains.”
What it really says: You’re the person to avoid.
What to do: It’s natural to grumble about work once in awhile. If you gripe and
moan when you’re asked to do anything, however, people will not only
get annoyed, they’ll wonder why you don’t just quit. Keep in mind that
work isn’t always fun; keep the complaints to a minimum.
Bad Habit: Trying to be everybody’s best friend.
What you think: “I’m just sociable.”
What it really says: You don’t know how to set boundaries.
What to do: It’s not uncommon for friendships to develop at work, but don’t expect
it to happen with everybody. Unless you have reason to do otherwise,
treat your superiors, colleagues and subordinates like professionals,
not like drinking buddies.
What you think: “I’ll never see them again.”
What it really says: You’re not a professional who thinks about the future.
What to do: As much as you dream of telling off your boss or co-workers after
you’ve handed in your resignation, restrain yourself. People change
jobs, companies merge – someone you dissed in the past may end up being
your boss down the road.
What you think: “People love me.”
What it really says: You’re really annoying.
What to do: There’s nothing wrong with being funny – most people do like a good
sense of humor. Just remember that not everybody wants to hear your
sarcastic quips and “Godfather” impersonations every five minutes.
What you think: “I’m not as annoying as they are.”
What it really says: You’re inconsiderate.
What to do: Do unto your co-workers as you’d want them to do unto you. Your
hour-long conference call on speakerphone is just as irksome to your
cube mates as theirs are to you.
Work
Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Hola a todos, tengo mucho, pero mucho tiempo sin postear nada, pero ahora creo que es una buena oportunidad, estoy en Belo Horizonte, la tercer ciudad mas importante de Brasil, es una ciudad como muchas otras con grandes edificios y mucha gente, tiene una caracteristica particular, las mujeres son muy bonitas!, esta es mi segunda vez por aca, vine en Noviembre del 2007 y estuve 3 semanas, ahora estoy esta semana y la que viene, no estaba muy emocionado por venir pero el trabajo nos trae para aca, principalmente por dejar a Vicky (mi esposa) con los niños sola.
He tenido toneladas de trabajo! y muchos problemas de todo tipo desde la ultima vez que postee algo, pero creo que bien vale la pena retomar el habito!. aqui tome un par de fotos de la ciudad.
