Tips For Working In An Office For The First Time

1. Always have a backup outfit in the office

This one can be useful in a variety of situations, especially if you have a long commute to work or if you work many jobs at once and need to change your clothes quickly. It’s also a good idea to have an extra cardigan or raincoat on hand in case a co-worker forgets to bring one. Who knows, you might be well on your way to becoming the go-to person at the company on your first day.

2. Resist Gossip At All Costs

Yes, the temptations of middle school are still present. Gossiping may make you feel like you’ve always been a part of the team, but the truth is that gossiping, especially if you’re new, does not reflect well on anyone. It’s crucial to remember that everyone, including your boss, will eventually hear what you say about them. Even if someone appears pleasant, it’s important to remember that this is your workplace, and you don’t want to jeopardise your professional reputation for a few minutes of breakroom talk.

3. Make punctuality a top priority

Even if no one says anything, your co-workers will notice if you’re always late. Of course, everyone is late at times, but you don’t want to make it a habit. Even if it has no direct effect on the quality of your work, it sends the message that you don’t take the task seriously enough to appear on time, which isn’t good.

4. Bringing Your Lunch

This one is partly dependent on your workplace culture and personal budget, but we believe that bringing your lunch is a wonderful way to save money while eating cuisine you enjoy. It’s also a wonderful method to give yourself some alone time if you’re feeling overwhelmed by your coworkers’ continual contact.

5. Keep in Mind That Emails Are Permanent

Emails aren’t going away anytime soon. Even if you meant it in jest or as a joke, it’s typically best to err on the side of caution and avoid making that possibly detrimental pun or joke. This is just another reminder not to gossip about your coworkers or superiors, whether in person or over email or chat.
