Nowadays we talk a lot about toxic behavior. It even seems that this word has become a fad. After all, who has never heard: that person is toxic.
The truth is that without us realizing it we can adopt some attitudes that put us in the position of toxic people.
That’s why it’s necessary to be very careful, because without even realizing it you can drive your coworkers away.
I have decided to separate 5 behaviors that you must avoid at all costs so that you are not considered a toxic person. Know what they are.
1 – Interrupting co-workers
Do you know that person who wants to talk all the time and won’t let others express themselves? Be very careful not to be that person.
Besides appearing rude, this is an attitude that shows that you are an impatient person who cannot wait.
Therefore, be careful with anxiety, and when someone is talking, concentrate on listening and only then express your opinion.
2 – Commenting on your personal problems
We all have personal problems. However, the big mistake made is to comment on them in the company by putting yourself as a victim.
If you can, avoid bringing your home problems into the work environment, no matter how painful the situation is. If you need to talk to someone, call your boss and talk to him/her.
By talking to everyone about your problems, besides being considered a toxic person, you won’t be able to solve them because of that.
3 – Don’t sell products at the workplace
Nothing is as bad as that person who wants to sell products inside the work environment. And this even inhibits colleagues.
People end up buying even if they cannot afford it, just because they are embarrassed to deny the request. But you can be sure that they don’t like this at all.
So avoid this behavior. If you have a close friend in the company, offer him or her something outside the workplace.
4. Don’t bring political issues into the company
Another big mistake is to want to impose political opinions. This is very bad, because not always colleagues have the same opinion.
Besides, it can generate a lot of unnecessary stress between you and some other colleagues. Therefore, leave your preference for a candidate outside the work environment.
5 – Avoid being a “noisy” colleague
Everyone loves a good song. However, each person has his or her own musical preferences. And if you put on a song for everyone to hear, it may not appeal to all tastes.
Ideally, you should have a good headset if you can use them in the company. Otherwise, avoid putting on music. It is a way to respect other people’s space.
These are small habits that make a big difference in everyday life. So pay close attention to them. Do you agree?
