Some years back I
watch ‘Horrible Bosses‘ it was amazing to see the level of torture
and I know so many employees should have feel relieved after watching
that movie realising that their bosses are still bearable and they don’t need
to plan any murder. There are so many articles on how to make work
place better for employers but this one is for employees.What are the
mistakes on our part that make our work places hell for us. I am listing here
some of the behavioural controls that willmake your life better at
workplace.
1. Don’t make friends
or foes:
Why:
1) Office is a workplace and your are supposed
to maintain it strictly professional.
2) When you list someone as friend or enemy
you get biased . you may be required to coordinate and work with people you
hate and this will make your life hell.
3) People change as per their own
requirements.When you are a friend you will expect support and favour and this
may hurt you because it may not be feasible for either if you to favour each
other.
2. Discussing personal matters
in office:
Why:
I am a girl and I know
it is our weakness , when we are in stress we need someone to listen to
us.Generally life partner and family is there but if the reason of stress is
family itself then where to relieve our stress.We do that in office with our
colleagues. I am not blaming ladies I know even man do this but
proportion is very less. I will say 75:25. Ladies can’t help sharing their
personal things and emotions in office. Soon people around you know all of your
weakness and if they are self composed they will soon start using
your own weaknesses against you. Then you will have no solution, control
yourself.
3. How to handle this
If you are sufferring some deep stress use
portal like www.shepokeme.com where you can share your stress anonimously and
you will feel relieved without losing your secrets.
4. Mind your own
business:
why:
1) Everybody have
their own expectations, when they will be disgruntle they will come
to you and speak a lot of negative about company and boss.If you will start to
react on those things you will be in blacklist of company for no reason and
worst part will be when that person will resolve his issues with management and
will be back in good books and you will lose both of the relations.
2) Other people will also mind their business
when you will need them and they should.
5. Get engage in any
emotional or physical relation
Why:
1) If you know about
Mr. Fanish murty of Infosys and Igate. Lost his position two time for his
alleged relationship in office. For any emotional or physical desire choose
people outside office.
2) It is highly
unprofessional to have affair in office this will make life of others
uncomfortable.
3) Whatever you will do people with take it as
a favour to that person, that will destroy your image.
I am open for suggestions and feedback
