On The Job

AUGUST 3, 2020

Even if you're physically not in a workplace right now, try the dime trick from your home office. Don't be late to meetings (and apologize if you are) and don't monopolize someone's time with your complaints or gossip. Every time you give someone a compliment at work, shift a coin to your right pocket. Be adaptable.

Things like gossiping about others. Or grabbing some extra supplies to restock your home office. You may find yourself slowly devolving into “the grey area”—doing things that aren’t necessary wrong, but things that don’t truly reflect a strong, ethical core. Or accepting credit for something that wasn’t really yours to own.

You complain when the brand of coffee you favor isn't used in the office coffee pot. You claim you hate gossips, but have sent emails passing along the latest scuttlebutt concerning a colleague's dating habits after you overheard her on the phone. You use the office Skype system to pass along the tidbits to overseas colleagues.
