Recommendation

Adjusting to a new job, learning the workplace culture, and trying to get along with new co-workers brings unique sets of challenges. You may ask yourself what to wear, who to befriend,or how to create good working relationships with your new colleagues. Luckily, helpful dad Peter Yawitz – despite his book's somewhat opaque title – offers a comprehensive go-to guide to proper workplace etiquette, including fitting into the culture, paying attention in boring meetings, and asking for a raise. Yawitz illuminates the unspoken rules of the office and draws on his years of experience to provide handy advice. His basic rules will help any newcomer master life in an unfamiliar workplace.

Take-Aways

  • Get to know your co-workers.
  • Present yourself professionally.
  • Use small talk to avoid giving away too much information.
