So the final exercise, let's see where these behaviors fall in the eyes of the employer, appropriate ranking of workplace behavior from an employer's perspective, I'm going to go by from seven down to one leave him in the same order, but let's see where you fared and how you match the perspective of employers here from most employers, these are where these behaviors usually rank in terms of level of what's more appropriate or not. Starting with number seven, the least inappropriate thing on this list is texting a family member to let them know when you will be off work. That seems to be not as critical. Usually an employer will allow you to do that on your break time or if you have a downtime at work. Some employers have policies against cell phones completely. But again, Understanding your workplace policy and procedures on cell phone.

If they are cell phones, if they are allowed, then it'll be appropriate for you to check check in with your family on a moment. So that's not as critical on this list. That's the least valuable or most critical behavior on the list from employers perspective. Number six using the email for personal use. Now email, most people have their own emails, you can have email on your cell phone, or if you're using a Google on your workplace, using using a workplace computer, I'd be very wary about doing anything on email on a work station or anything at work. But if you have an opportunity to use your cell phone, the own media to check your email on your break time, that's fine.

So again, that falls a little lower on the behavior ranking list. And that is also getting the perspective from employers. Number five, hearing a rumor about your manager and telling two co workers This is inappropriate behavior. But it's further down the list because it's hearsay, it could be work related, but it also could be inappropriate. So I want this weigh in on how much gossip this turns into gossip. And it can lead to damage your relationship with your worker, your manager and so forth.

And then it could damage your professional image and again, we want to guard your professional limits like money, so I would abstain from it. But again, this is further down the line then the others so let's go to number four. calling in sick when you're not now some people may say, Okay, if I'm sick, no one's gonna there's no doctor is gonna check on me and say, Hey, you sick I'm gonna check your temperature now. So it's relative. So if you have a sick time, you can take it now here's where it gets unethical. If you call in sick and you are playing golf somewhere, that's inappropriate.

But there is a gray area as well because some policies at work, employers have personal days, sick days, and so forth. Now, here's where it gets kind of in that gray area. But if you're not sick, but your child is sick, so I'm going to stay home anyway, if my child is sick enough to stay home and care for my child, that's a little different. But or maybe I'm not sick, sick, Ill sick, but I have a doctor's appointment. I'm using that as sick time. That's one of those gray areas where you need to check in with your employer to find out whether that's appropriate or not.

That's getting a little closer to that area of what's appropriate and what's not, depending on your policy. So always know your company policy on those things. Number three, getting down to the nitty gritty as it gets a little more serious. Getting into an argument in front of a customer with a co worker who keeps bugging now you just lose your cool. We talked about that and appropriate business ethic. You cannot afford to lose your cool at work.

I don't care what who gets out of your skin. You're professional image is like money. You can't afford to lose your professionalism. Because someone got on your nerves, you have to maintain your composure. Know how to maintain your behavior. Again, like the wise man told me, don't let anyone mess with your money.

Don't let anyone cause you to act inappropriate at work because you can lose your employment behind you losing your professionalism. So again, this is a public display of inappropriate behavior, especially in public in front of a customer. That is a no no, that's grounds for immediate termination. I've seen it happen in my work experience when people have lost their cool got into a profane laced reaction end up losing their job because they lost their cool can't afford to make that happen. That's why that's down to number three. Number two, being late for work two to three days every week.

There's nothing that can damage your professional reputation. Then you showing up late before you do anything. That's a behavior that says something about who you are and value you what you value, your time value. That's a big ugly mark that can cost you your job much quicker. quicker and so you damaged your professional reputation sooner than just about anything. So being late for work will cause you to really a lot of employers will not even maintain your employment, they'll terminate you.

If you late for work, or you have attendance issues very quickly depending on your and your work environment. I'll be very careful with that one. That's why that was number two on the list. Bali number one, making a sexual advance for a supervisor, coworker. This is more number one because it can not only lose your job, it could also cost you a case because as you see, sexual inappropriate behavior, sexual harassment, bullying, those type of things are big buzzwords in employment environments right now. And companies lose millions of dollars on sexual harassment lawsuits.

So they're very serious about that. So if you fall into that category, even if it's inappropriate, and if it's, it's a great area and someone said you did something and it could be construed as sexual harassment, people Companies are not taking any chances, they get rid of people that behave this way. So I've had that as number one, you cannot afford to damage your professional reputation. And that could follow you. So again, these are the rankings from one through seven. I hope that you fear kind of sort of close, cuz you don't have to be exact match.

But if you're all over the place, and you're not at least somewhat close to these rankings, then maybe you need to rethink how you evaluate what's appropriate at work and what is not. My final question is exercise. Which one of these on this list do you think will cause you to lose your job? The fastest? immediate termination? What do you think so, what's which one of these at behaves will cost you your job the fastest.

Some people will say number one, sexual advance, maybe get into an argument being like, in my opinion, in my experience, the number one reason where people lose their job. The fastest is this to being late for work two to three days every week. That will cost you your job too fast. Even a sexual harassment thing at the bottom will cause some investigation that may take months, weeks, maybe years to prove that some in some cases, because they have to be careful. But if you showed up too late, showing up to work late two, three, you won't even pass your probationary period. Remember that that 90 day three month period, you're doing that showing up late every week, every day two or three days a week, you won't last a couple of weeks.

In most cases, the first week you'll be gone or at least you won't pass that probationary period. So again, these are things to keep in mind to maintain your employment, employment success standards, workplace relationships. Hope this was helpful.
