3 ways to destroy your reputation at work
To appropriate other people's merits
Perhaps nothing will make you a big scoundrel than appropriating other people's merits. People lost their jobs for less. The best way to avoid the reputation of a thief of someone else’s fame is to carefully analyze the reasons for success. What was your merit personally? Was the result really up to you or only part of it? You should never exaggerate - just make enemies for yourself. Even better - do not shout right and left about their successes. Be restrained, and let the work and the result speak for themselves.
Hide error
If you made a serious mistake, then, of course, you can delete some letters, throw out documents related to it, sit in silence or say that you know nothing about it. But this is a time bomb. And the longer you hide your mistake, the more serious the consequences will be in the end. Which alternative? Confess right away. The sooner you tell your colleagues or management about what happened, the more time you will have to try to correct the situation or take other necessary measures. You can even ask for help. But hiding the error, you will have no chance to rehabilitate yourself when the truth is revealed, and it will certainly be revealed.
Disrupt deadlines
When you have a bad day, and you simply can’t cope with something, for example, to finish your part of the work on time, this is one thing. There are no ideal employees, depending on the circumstances, they will understand and forgive you, probably, then they will not even remember about it. But if you break the deadlines constantly, then you have a bad reputation. They will stop trusting you, they will not want to work with you, and it is not difficult to predict the outcome with such an attitude. If you have already missed several deadlines, then do not think that the following errors will get away with you. Are you overworked? Talk about this with management, delegate tasks. Allocate time carefully, make extra efforts, do everything so that the series of failures does not turn into your usual work style. Your efforts will certainly be noticed, and past mistakes will soon be forgotten.
