1. Remember the names

What was the name of the black-haired woman sitting next to the photocopier? Jobs in open-plan offices have the disadvantage that the newcomer has to remember many names at once. “Oh, I’m sorry, you’re at the photocopier, I forgot your name again…” can be tolerated for two days by an enthusiastic new starter. However, if it is ignored for a long period of time, employees will become justifiably angry.

• Tip 1 – A cheat sheet with employee names But investing is not that difficult and promises success.

2. Watch out for the bitch

Did you have a lot of fun on the second day and at lunch with your absent colleagues? Wow! Of course, most advice books tell you how bad it is to gossip about colleagues in general and how the ideal employee should avoid this unpleasant practice. But let’s be honest: In most companies, a good bitch about the chick from the other department, the smelly person on duty, or, of course, the incompetent boss is just part of internal psychological hygiene.

• Tip 2 – But it is recommended that you spend some time on your own Expressions of opinion to wait.

3. Complaints

Even if hierarchies prevent work, production processes are hopelessly outdated and the wrong software is used for everything anyway: smart people are not always, everywhere and always loved. Even if the newcomer is right, he should first show humility instead of trying to turn the company around in the first week.

• Tip 2: First suggestion Changes or Improvements It works better when the critic is already educated.

4. Would you like to get help?

“How did this work in Photoshop again?”, “Oh, I’m sorry, can you explain to me again how this works in Photoshop?”, “Oh, I’m sorry, how…”… AAARGH! exclaims the busy worker, who wants to cut the newcomer into quarters with a sharp letter opener, fillet him and send him to the cleaning crew to sweep up. If a beginner does not have a manual for the basic software, it is always important to consult online help before overwhelming the staff.

• Tip 4 – This also applies to the workplace «Help yourself, then God will help you».

5. Wait to provide feedback

Since the emergence of developmental psychology, educational scientists have known that peak performance can only be achieved with positive feedback. But just a week later, he ran up to his boss and asked, overzealously and somewhat modestly, how satisfied he was with his job performance: bad plan. Every day I obediently ask: It’s a really bad plan.

• Tip 5 – A first location interview after just one Moon logical.

6. Are there friendships at work?

Many people make friends in the office or at work, or even misjudge each other. However, it would be wrong to conclude that telling employees about the divorce battle with their ex or the annoying hemorrhoid incident on the first day of work is a relationship-improving measure.

• Tip 6: Gpatience bring and smile
