How to be in office
People with Documents in their hands like hardworking employees heading for important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they are heading for canteen. Make sure that you carry loads of stuff home with you ,thus generating a false impression that you work longer hours than you do.
2.Use your computer to look Busy!!
Any time you use ur computer,it looks like work to the casual observer. U can send and receive e-mail,chat and generally have a blast without. When u get caught by your boss- ur best defense is to claim you’re teaching yourself to use new software,thus saving valuable training expenses.
3. Messy Desk
Top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like we’re not working hard enough. So build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, it’s the volume that counts..Bury the document that is necessary in the stack and rummage for it when ur boss arrives.
4.Looking impatient and annoyed
Always try to look impatient and annoyed to give your bosses the impression that you are always busy
5.Leave the Office Late
Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read but have no time until late before leaving. Make sure that you walk past the boss’ room on your way out. Send important mails at unearthly hours (eg :at nights)And during public holidays.
6. Creative Sighing for effect
Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure. Be careful in using this one.
7.Build Vocabulary
Pick out all the jargon words. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with bosses.They don’t have to understand what u say, but u will sound impressive.
