At work, what you choose to say, how you wish to communicate and, above all, your demeanour can determine where your career is headed. You therefore need to exercise extreme prudence to know what not to do rather than what to do.
In a work environment, little things can often land genuinely nice people and good performers into big trouble. Here are some ways to prevent this from happening.
Don’t give one and you won’t need to take one.
You can find better and more productive things to do that are less career threatening than the apparently harmless small talk.
Make sure what comes around doesn’t have your name flagged all over it.
It has never worked nor will it ever, be genuine or be quiet.
Just because you are happy with your achievements, it doesn’t mean that everyone else is also thrilled about them. Try not to broadcast them too much; most of your colleagues will already know if you have done well.
Stop taking yourself so seriously, no one else does and if they do, they will probably stop taking you seriously.
Prudence is leaving the lavatory dry, even if it wasn’t you who left or found it wet. Just don’t go out and write out a complaint letter to the admin, do some thing else, be creative.
Control camaraderie driven urges even if your boss happens to be a nice person.
Exercise formality, work is not a family gets together you go to everyday, though it may appear to be one big family.
