Workplace Etiquette10 of the Most Obnoxious Things You Can Do at WorkThe rules for workplace etiquette arent exactly posted in every office for convenient reference. But that doesnt mean you shouldnt learn and follow them. Its never to late to make sure your behavior isnt going to offend anyone or keep you from getting ahead. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display(div-gpt-ad-1467144145037-0) ) Here are 10 things you should make sure you never do at work.1. Talk, loudly, on your phoneYou think its okay to answer your cell at your desk? Then roam down the hall talking at full volume as you walk to get a cup of coffee or a photocopy? Think again. Youre actually being very disrespectful. Not to mention disrupting everyone you pass.2. Chew or slurp out loudIts gross and it annoys people. Keep your noodle/soup/coffee/ice chips sounds to yourself. Yes, even at your cubicle.3.Not change after the gymGood for you for working out during your work day But dont you dare go back to your desk without showering or changing clothes. Ew.4. Fight loudly on the phoneSure, arguing with your S.O./parent/roommate is a necessary thing sometimes. But dont take the call in a public drumherum and force everyone around you to listen in.5.Apply stinky beauty productsDont take off or apply nail polish (or nail polish remover) at your deskor anywhere in nose-shot. Its not a work activity, plus a lot of people are allergic or sensitive to the smell. For that matter, go easy on the perfume or cologne as well.6. Bash your coworkersNever try to talk smack about one co-worker with another co-worker. It will not end well for you.7. Show up late and moochDont show up to the meeting late, first of all. Second of all, dont expect the people who were on time to fill you in. Its your bad and your responsibility to catch up. Dont waste everybody elses time.8. Talk private money mattersNo matter how broke you are, or how curious, talking salary is never a good idea at work. Keep your financial status to yourself and let others do so too.9. Be a jerkYou want to invite one co-worker to lunch or happy hour, but you just cant do it if theres another co-worker in ear shot, or worse, standing right there with you. Send an email or a text if you want to be exclusive.10. Get politicalKeep your political (and religious, for that matter) views to yourself.Just think how much easier our work lives would be if everybody knew and followed these few easy rules.
