You’re just starting work. You only get one chance to make a first impression and you don’t want to be the subject of an office-all email. Here’s the dirty dozen of egregious don’ts:
- Show up on the wrong day
- Go in for the man hug
- Wear competitor’s swag
- Over-caffeinate on all the free coffee
- Face time with your mom
- Give your boss a nickname
- Stuff your face and backpacks with free dim-sum and cupcakes
- Monopolize the foosball table
- Pull out your vape pen in the conference room
- Fall asleep in the company lounge
- Steal the toothpaste from the corporate bathroom
- Get toasted at the first company happy hour
Good luck!
