3 Surefire Ways to Kill Your Reputation at Work

The Muse: In business, it’s easy to forgive an oversight. We all make mistakes, and few of us possess a perfect ability to complete every project on time and on budget.
You might hear some grumbling around the office about that presentation you made last month, the one where you had the sales forecast numbers mixed up with the expenditures, but most of your co-workers will forget all about it.

We learn at a very young age that we are only human and that everyone in life with make mistakes. I believe that everyone should be given second chances and how work goes if you need help ask. Everyone from when they are born have a reputation it is how someone carries that reputation that people will remember them. They mention many things in this article that help and show many things that people should already know. Like, take credit for your work and your work only, don’t cover up an error that you did face it and try to fix it before it is too late, and lastly don’t let your work slide keep with it. Everything happens for a reason I understand people can say things and not mean it, people freak out and don’t know what to do and lastly people just have bad days or are lazy and don’t do their work. I feel like our society now a days doesn’t know the mean of hard work, I am not saying I am an expert but I keep an open mind to everything and realize that I might like something else than I thought. I understand reputation at my high school the first day of freshman year you earn one and you keep it and sometimes it can control you and then you get out high school and you don’t know what to do with yourself. I think people shouldn’t listen to things that go on around them that they should try their hardest at their work.
