NINE RUDE THINGS YOU SHOULDN’T DO TO A CO-WORKER

(November, 2022) From Monique Valcour, a professional “executive coach,” whatever that is, here are The 9 Rudest Things You Can Do To The Co-Worker Sitting Next To You:
1. Show Up To Work Sick
2. Leave Your Stuff On Other People’s Desks
3. Play Music Without Headphones
4. Make Bodily Sounds Or Share Mean Gossip (* Wait – that’s two things, unless you gossip in a burp.)
5. Tune Out People Trying To Have A Conversation With You. I said, TUNE OUT PEOPLE TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU.
6. Treat The Shared Office Space Like Your Kitchen
7. Barge Into A Private Conversation
8. Use Too Much Cologne Or Perfume
9. Be Unwilling To Take Responsibility For The Energy That You Bring To The Workplace
* Boom – and suddenly we’re into the metaphysical world. What’s up with that?
* Can you play music without headphones to mask your bodily sounds?
* Nine seasons of The Office, and this is all she got?
* I can see where these would be pretty annoying, especially if you’re an airline pilot.
* PHONE TOPIC: What has a coworker done in the office that really bugged you?
