v It's unhealthy to badmouth or gossip about other colleagues or your boss. Avoid the temptation to do so by refusing to even listen to it in the first place.
v Trying to receive "preferential treatment" from the supervisory heads or boss brings absolute disgrace to one's productivity. Instead, concentrate on working hard to become the most productive employee (Read How to Beat Non-Productivity at Your Workplace)to climb the success ladder.
v Behave modestly, and do not blow your own trumpet of earlier achievements. It signals as an attention seeker.
v It is unacceptable to assume certain behavior and yet continue practicing it the other way round.
