Getting a job nowadays is as difficult as keeping your job, there are countless things that you can do to get yourself fired. (It’s really that easy!) There are extremely intolerable stuff which can send you packing your desks in an instant.
Or perhaps small things you do daily that can accumulate along the way and get yourself dismissed after much of your bosses’ considerations. Of all the negative things, here are the most common 10 things you do at work that can or will get you fired.
Food coma during lunchtime
Think small things. Your boss or superior may not sound it out because they don’t want to make a big fuss of you sleeping once or twice (and to save your face), but come on if you do it every day they’re going to need to say it in your face. Staying awake after lunch is one of the hardest challenges, it’s a competition between your body and the food. Which food always wins, by the way. You’ll probably get fired, or asked to go on a diet if your boss is kind enough.
Dozing off early in the morning
Like these people are still in the yesteryear of YOLO. Getting sufficient sleep now is not just for the sake of your health, it’s also for the sake of staying awake at work. You don’t want to look like the kind of person who doesn’t sleep enough, couldn’t wake and iron your shirt, didn’t have time for breakfast and now dozing off in the morning at work. You sound just like an 18-year old teenager.
Punctuality
Again, if your bosses don’t say a word about people coming late doesn’t mean they don’t care. Punctuality shows a lot about your character, and how serious you take things. Be responsible and manage your time more wisely – being late once in a blue moon is generally okay but not every day.
Unconstructive feedback
Don’t try and give unconstructive feedback in meetings. Employers look for solutions, the more practical way. They will listen if you have realistic solutions for them to solve the current problems, and not whining about situations or retarded stuff but not doing anything to it.
Talk big, no action
Be humble, or at least try to be. Don’t go telling your employers about how you can do this and that but produce little to no result. Lots of Singaporeans are degree holders who can present themselves very well, but not all can do it as good as they claim to.
80 working days out of 250
365 days in a year, approximately 250 or so working days. But some people probably work 80 days a year. Like taking leaves, MC and stuff. Your employers wouldn’t be too happy about that will they?
Unproductive people
Some companies may require daily reports or meetings to monitor your progress and check on what you did for the day. But some companies provide their employees with the freedom to do what they want to. Some smart people would try to eat snake, and maybe to the extent of not doing anything productive at all during the whole day at work.
Bad conduct or attitude
This depends largely on how your employers and companies see it. Behaviours are pretty subjective, but we all know the general “misconducts” at work. Good attire, respect, politeness, great work attitude and stuff like that. If you have neither of those, be very prepared.
Constantly thinking of what they can get instead of what they can give
People nowadays are full of “deserving mindsets.” They feel that they need to get more from what they give, such as a promotion or pay increment. They also need the constant praise and compliments from employers. Great if they put in the effort. But some are just expecting high pay with a low amount of work or results.
Drawing too high a salary
Welcome to Singapore, where drawing too high a salary might produce a threat to your company.
