Making the Workplace a Better Place

My rant/vent for today:

1. Calm down:

Distinguish between things that should cause you to freak out and things that really shouldn’t.

For example,
Major order is lost = freak out!
Boss asks you to clean a spoon = do not freak out. Yes, even if it isn’t your spoon. Doesn’t count as a “freak out-able” item.

2. Shut your mouth:

Please.

3. Ask yourself this question: “Does this really matter?”

Does it really matter who made the call as long as it was done? No, no it does not.

Is that person really annoying? Bitchy? Evil? Smelly? Can you walk away? If the answer is yes, then does it really matter? No, walk away and quit bitching. See #2.

4. Know your enemy

Does one person share all the juicy gossip with you? Great, just know that person is also sharing all your juicy secrets with everyone else. Trust me.
