SOCIALIZING WITH CO-WORKERS
Many people believe the myth that you have to spend a lot of time
getting along with your co-workers. They say, “Work is supposed to
be fun!” And this is true up to a point.
Of course, it is important for you to be positive and agreeable
person to work with. But you can accomplish this in a few minutes
of pleasant interaction each day. You don’t have to spend endless
hours chatting about sports, television shows, and family activities.
Your job is to work all the time you work.
When you work, you work.You do not pick up your dry cleaning
or drop off your laundry during working hours.You do not socialize
with your friends or chat on the phone with your family.You do not
take long coffee breaks and extended lunch hours. You work all the
time you work. You commit yourself to getting the very most done
that you possibly can in the time that you have available to you.
