If you look for a long lasting business relationship with your Employer, Confidentiality & Integrity are highly essecials for the life of your career or business relationship. Even at the floor level, the two carasteristics go hand by hand and dealing with sensitive information of any subject, processes procedures including the safety of documents and the entire workforces is critical and must be practice in all you do. Nowadays, if you say the wrong statement, behave eracticly and make innapropiate comments about the company, co-workers, procedures or top managers desicion making processes, it can land you on the black list at the Human Resources department in a heartbeat. When you decide to make any statement in the workplace, (even through social media) look who you are talking to and who is around you that will hear your voice. I assure you, that your comments will travel the entire facility to key individuals that will hunt you up to your termination of employment. So, "Mind your own Business" Be Competitive, Be Good, Be You and practice "Confidentiality & Integrity" all the time.
Great advice Carlos Perez ! I think it's very important to take the time to build that rapport with your employer and those you work with. As you mentioned it's also important to be mindful of what we say and how er treat others.
Thank you for sharing this Carlos. Too many people feel that the employer owes them a job for life. The bottom line is that companies expect for employees to be professional regardless if the company itself carries itself in that way. Some are too free with bad mouthing the company and their colleagues and forget that there are repercussions for your actions. People should keep their negative thoughts to themselves and or share that only with a trusting confidant. Too often you share information and you never who is going to use that information for personal gain. Some people operate like spies their eyes are always open and when they hear something negative run and tell the person or the boss what they heard. If you have a problem speak to that person individually going around the person's back and telling others is the cowards way of handling the problem. We all have opinions and when something is none of your business even though you have an opinion keep it to yourself and mind your business.
Don't make someone else's problem your problem.
