Work Etiquette

General rules of thumb to remember if I am ever in an authority position at work:

1) Do not ask people to come to my office at 4:30 pm and give them work to do that must be completed the same day. Especially when they have sat around and done nothing all day, the project has been around since the morning but I chose not to tell them about it or if it’s not actually an urgent request. The sky will not implode if we wait until tomorrow to do it.


2) I am not actually better than the people who have been working less time than me. I know that we have slightly different titles and on a project I may be the one in charge but I probably shouldn't give them grunt work I don’t want to do and then sit on the internet all day doing nothing. It's not very friendly.
