Biggest career mistakes every one does

  • Your colleagues are not your friends. While it is good to have a cordial relationship with everyone at work, you should know your boundaries. For example, if you speak against someone to a colleague, do not be surprised if the gossip works against you in future.

  • Your boss is not your enemy. Like you, the boss has to do her/his work, which includes managing you. Your boss sees work from a different perspective, which you’ll be able to judge better if you are in her/his position.

  • Your subordinate is not a fool. Your subordinate may not deliver the way you want but surely, she or he is good at something. It is your job to see that you get the best out of her/him.

  • Your office is not your house. Work hard and return to your house to relax.
    Your house is not your office. Do not bring work to your house.

  • Do not expect rewards to work hard. It is the other way around.

Thanks for the heads up.
Followed you.
Please follow back. Ciao!

I come from a small city with small businesses where people tend to be closer than they normally would be. For a lot of us, the people we work with are our friends both in and out of the office. I do see where you're coming from, but I think I would have to disagree with that one in my situation.

On the rest of your points, I agree 100%

I am agree with your disagree because may be everyone is not in same environment. It's completely good to disagree and comment so other people may know other aspects also...

We also have a lot of family members that work at the same companies here. I've heard a lot of big city dwellers complain about it and don't believe it should be allowed, but there's really no avoiding it in places like this
