Five "Sins" That Strain Office Relationships
Encyclopedic
PRE

Bringing snacks or local specialties to share, or treating others when you win an award, is an important way to express friendship. If you reject invitations with excuses like "I'm too busy" or "I don't want to owe anyone favors," or show disinterest, others may perceive you as aloof and difficult to get along with.
Mysterious Disappearances
Avoid frequently vanishing from the workplace. Informing your supervisor and colleagues of your whereabouts shows respect, fosters mutual trust and responsibility, and enables them to assist with urgent matters.
Withholding Good News
Assuming others already know about your good news and keeping it to yourself misses opportunities for shared celebration. Good news is never too late to share, nor does repetition diminish its impact.
