Tip (Respect the work, time and people): Good: arriving on time, greeting coworkers, asking when unsure, owning your mistakes, meeting deadlines, phone on silent, respecting others’ time. Poor: gossiping, long personal calls, taking others’ credit, hiding a mistake, arriving late, ignoring instructions, leaving without telling. Feedback from a supervisor: “Thanks, I’ll fix it.” Will be late or absent? Inform in advance.
