7 Tips to be a Good Coworker

5.Don’t compete

Unhealthy professional rivalry tends to creep into a high pressure work environment, especially during the time of an impending promotion,. Many a time they become personal rivalries and people end up arguing or having silly fights. Work for yourself, your satisfaction and your growth. Do not compare or think about why he or she is getting or not getting something. You do not know their story so stay cordial and uncompetitive.

6.Don’t bitch

Everyone indulges a little in work related gossip during lunch time, but you should not cross the line separating gossiping from bitching. Don’t talk negatively about your colleagues, after all you wouldn’t want to be the bad guy in office right? Think about how you would feel if someone were to be bitching about you behind your back.

7.Maintain unity and minimize groupism

Lastly, a united workforce is good not only for the company but also for its employees. You should see to it that you interact with everyone and not indulge in groupism by sticking to a few coworkers only. You can also make an effort to get those who practice groupism to mingle with the rest as this will boost teamwork.
