Attitude In The Workplace: How Your Work Attitude Can Define You

Your attitude in the workplace can be one of the most - if not the most - telling aspect of how others in the firm look at you and feel about you as a coworker.

A first impression can be a hard thing to shake especially if it's a bad one. In other words, once you have gotten a workplace credit as being lazy, a slacker, a whiner or other negative tag, it can be hard to get rid of.

Think of someone you've worked with who perhaps didn't work as hard as you staggering them to and then think about how you felt about every time you had to work with them.

Perception is often reality and once population get an idea in their head about someone or something, it can be difficult to get them to think differently.

In my experience, your attitude in the workplace can sometimes define you more than the work you actually furnish if your coworkers come to see you as someone who is reliable, competent, moving and someone that they can rely on.

One of the worst feelings can be to work with population who don't seem to care and don't appear to pull their own weight.

When I think about population I've worked with who I've seen in a clear light, they tend to be population who outwardly display a clear attitude in the workplace.

They tend to take the initiative and are reliable. They are someone that you look forward to working with. They don't complain or bad mouth their firm or coworkers and basically get on with the job at hand. They don't stroll colse to bothering other population because they aren't doing their own job.

Basically, they are population who would be missed if they left the company.

Having at one time worked for a firm that ordinarily laid off staff, I can tell you that the population who were let go first were often those who were ordinarily regarded as being staff who didn't display these clear traits and therefore weren't seen as being employees who needed to remain employed.
