Many people don’t realize this but keeping your dream job actually takes more effort than actually\u00a0getting\u00a0the job. While getting your dream job involves many hurdles you’re actually prepared for, keeping the job involves hurdles you don’t see coming.<\/p>\n

What might seem like simple infractions to you may actually carry more gravity than you’d expect. However, this all depends on the type of office you find yourself in, there is no universal formula for this as different companies have different rules.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of a few simple rules (that cuts across fields) to keep in order to keep that job and keep the paychecks coming:<\/p>\n

1. Don’t Tell Lies To Get Days Off Work<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one goes without saying but based on the number of people who have lost their jobs for this simple reason alone – it needs to be reiterated. You’ll find yourself in a pickle when you tell an excuse and your boss\/supervisor requires proof.<\/p>\n

While you may not lose your job on the spot (many do), the trust will be lost and once trust is lost – your days at the company are numbered.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Don\u2019t\u00a0Get Romantically Involved With Coworkers<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is practically a staple in most professional rulebooks and company guidelines because it is better for everyone, really, when coworkers don’t get romantically involved. First of all, it is unprofessional and tends to make things awkward and messy when the relationship doesn’t work out.<\/p>\n

Furthermore avoid sending inappropriate or romantic messages to your coworker through your work email or computer system, especially if the feelings are unrequited. This can be used as evidence of harassment and can be the final straw especially if you have a previous infraction in your files.<\/p>\n
