My coworkers know nothing about my personal life except for my work history and my work strengths and what weaknesses I’m working towards only. Period.🙅🏽♀️they don’t need to know anything and we shouldn’t ever be asking. Fine lines. Be profess sis!
The work place gossipers, the worst of the worst. they gossip, its avoidance from doing their own job tasks sooo theu focus on a target. Its disturbing.
You shouldn't be surprised that very few people thought personal oversharing info and self promotion was unprofessional. People are increasingly becoming attention seekers with victim mentality so they think it's ok and the rest are too scared to say it's annoying.
Thank you for sharing this information. I think why people don't recognise sharing personal information as unprofessional because 1. You spend a lot of time at office there you might find friend that you can depend on for professional as well as personal support. 2. It gives you think of something other than your work so for a short break if you want to forget that about the work deadlines and stress you share or listen to the personal talk.
Kara is a fantastic presenter: knowledgeable, confident, making difficult things easy for those who are in my Communications class. She is really the best!
Ive never worked anywhere where nobody was talking about their personal lives. I have most of my experience in the food industry and its very common for everyone to talk about their issues hence how we all end up becoming sort of family.
It's hard not to talk about personal stuff at work when your there all day! But that can come back and bite you in the but at some point. I've seen ppl get in trouble for that and I got written up myself for talking about personal stuff a lot of it was petty.
Thank you for video. Excellent. I have two. #1. crying to the boss to cause trouble. #2. People bring home problems into work and complaining to everybody. I dont care about bs.
Kara Ronin Ma'am its universal truth that nobody is ever born great. Professional behavior demands effort, discipline and willingness and believe me it's very difficult to develop. So, if I sum up all your 7 points then conclusion is " Attitude is Everything", Attitude is a reflection of a person's own selves that this person is truly genuine or not.
Honestly, it just depends on what personal topics are brought up at work as to if it's unprofessional or not. I know my manager occasionally will bring up something personal, but it's not to the point to where it crosses a boundary.
Excellent vdo lecture bt.as a professional in my opinion instead of criticizing others it's better to go for self analysis nd always be positive nd better to gain from other ideas for constructive results in working culture in brief in my views.Nice tips nd inspiring lecture.Thanx.
In my view, and somewhat comes under gossip, the worst behaviour is sniping. Although not commonplace, I’ve witnessed and been the subject of character assassination. Where a coworker uses this approach to attack your performance, generally one on one when you’re not there. They can’t help but look bad, but as the saying goes, if you throw enough s*#t, it sticks.
Because hoarding knowledge gives the person hoarding it value. Because others don't know how to do certain things like they do, it ensures they keep their position.
Dear Kara, thanks a ton for sharing your knowledge and experience. It does really help the viewers in many significant ways. I have a request. If you havent made a video on how to deal with clients who dont respond to our emails or messages, please would you make one? Being a director of a training academy, I often send emails and watsapp messages but it puts me down when people dont respond to me. Some of these are those working in schools such as principals and so on. I see that these professionals lack empathy and are not aware of email or messages etiquette. Please offer your recommendations in the video as it can really help many. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your comment! This is a common dilemma - to not get replies for emails. It really depends on the type of email you're sending. Is it a solicitation/sales email, or another type. Usually when you have a relationship with someone, they'll reply to emails. If they don't (in that situation), then it is bad email etiquette. If it's a sales email, then it's normal to not get replies. Unfortunately, this isn't a video that fits in with my channel direction so I won't be making a video on that topic. But I do have other videos on writing emails if that's an area you want to learn more about.
Great video, thanks Kara. Mine were 7., taking up all the speaking space, and 1., taking credit for someone else’s work. On point 7., can I ask something please? Do the implications of that behaviour, i.e., dominating meetings, hold true for non-work related conversations too? In other words, is it safe to assume that the informal relationship is far from being perfect if one dominates these ‘meetings’ with his or her stories without giving signals of interest for the other person’s reflections and POVs? Thank you so much. 💕🌸💕
Thanks for watching Eszter! To answer your question, yes no. 7 applies to personal relationships too. In any relationship whether it's professional or personal, it's really important for everyone to be heard and to feel heard too. This is what makes people feel they matter in the conversation or relationship. Without that, people lose interst and wonder why they should continue to make effort. So to sum up, dominating talking space isn't a good thing.💖
@@kararonin Thank you so much Kara for answering my question in such depth. ❤️🌸❤️ You’ve helped me make so many decisions in a much better way with your videos, and this is no exception to that. Happy holidays! 🎄🧚🥰
I belive that work has taken up a majority of space in our lives. I work long hours for 3 to 4 days off. It's a trade off. To make more money I pick up more days .
Here is my list of 7 unprofessional things that are big no-nos at work: 1. Stealing anything. 2. Not fessing up when you do things wrong. 3. Retaliating at an employee who files a complaint on you for a work infraction or violation. 4. Jock itching especially in the crotch area (blatant sexual harassment), even if it is not for gratification. 5. Coughing intentionally at somebody with the intent to make the co-worker sick. 6. Any social media post, comment, or pic that can cause destruction to other employees, the company's brand, or supervisors. (Example of that is "loose talk.") 7. Excessive instances of absenteeism, insubordination, or tardiness.
What about a unprofessional leader. She is resceduling meeting time 4-5 times for 1 meeting, and also not letting me now when the meeting is gonna be. Im so frustrated. Dont know how to handle that one. Talked with her few times now but seems like she just dont care that my hole week is turning upsidedown because of her unprofessional behavour. Any tips?
Great question Sandra and I'm sorry to hear you have this situation at work. It must be very frustrating. Obviously talking to her is the best step, but it seems you've already done that. Is there an HR manager or a supervisor of your boss that you could consult with. Don't do it in a way that you're complaining about them. Simply say you're not sure how to handle this situation and do they have any suggestions for you? I think you'll enjoy the video that went out last night on Signs You Have a Toxic Boss. I don't have a video yet on how to "handle" a toxic boss, but it's a good idea for a future video.
Some ways to get chemistry with others is chitchatting. Meaning that we can talk about anything including our own personal life. For me not an issue to share anything about personal. Why need to be so serious?
what about managers calling me nicknames which i do not prefer from managers to here like mate, pal, buddy, Sir, friend and so on, while its absolutely ok if someone accepting that, but i prefer to be called by name or surname or just addressed as a colleague, is it my problem ore its an issue from the management if they disregard my request and keep calling me because for them its polite and friendly?
The sweet naivety of this presenter is what i find most dishonest. Be honest and admit that corporate workplaces are absolute slaughterhouses of dishonest and manipulative behavior. She's either truly out of her depth (which is sad) or she's gaslighting the new people (which is evil)
Sharing stuff is not unprofessional amidst colleagues who also become friends overtime. It’s more weird not to share anything. Always been like this just depends who and when you share it
If you want to work and you’re a lady, good. But if you want to get pregnant at the same time that’s on you. Personally even in school settings here dating is frowned upon in my country. Getting pregnant and interrupting your studies is not desirable. Women deserve to learn in school as much as guys do but don’t push your luck.SAJC the junior college Jing Han went to has abnormally high pregnancy/dropout rates. Not gonna sugarcoat it mi amore
They all are rubbish. Blaming others for one‘s own mistakes is maybe the worst. What was missing is unreliable co-workers .... every month a week of sick leave, and when at work just doing little. + Sexual harassment
All this being said, it is however, mainly a farytale. If anyone of these kind of people mentioned is narcisistic, they will block public outcry with ease and convert most of detractors to followers and their enablers. Unless of hardwired antimanipulatory mindsets of the said "detractors". Which is almost non-existant. Thanks and bye.

Thanks a lot❤❤❤❤

Absolutely Jyotirmay! Attitude is so important and will get you very far in your career.
Wish I watched these kinds of videos before I began working. One can always learn through.
I don’t have a leadership position yet but I love watching your videos as they are very helpful to those who aim to be a leader.
I'm so glad to hear that!

Oh, God. I'm guilty of so many of these.
Passive agressive --nicey nice then anger only to apologise only to repeat the anger back to nicey nice😢
A former co-worker was fired due to Gossip not only about colleagues, but our customers
It's clearly not good to gossip at work. There are consequences.

Hoarding knowledge. I don't understand why some people are threatened with sharing knowledge.
@jessicaras4540 thank you, i needed this. Thank you so much.
sharing knowledge with thieves and killers? Good idea? To make it easier for them to steal your property and turn you into a slave in your own house
Because hoarding knowledge gives the person hoarding it value. Because others don't know how to do certain things like they do, it ensures they keep their position.
2:43 drama Dyan seems friendly person
This makes me sad about society and the world. Work is a mutually agreed upon delusion.
@jessicaras4540 the Book or raincoat snowstorm says “if you read old books you will remain old” stipid verse 65
No way I'm talking about my personal life. Those that say talking about personal life isn't unprofessional are probably talking about drama at work.

The sweet naivety of this presenter is what i find most dishonest.

But unfortunately in the real world, those who gossip are being liked
Thanks for the video ❤

The characters are funny. Great video.
I'm glad you like them! Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching! Which one was your most hated unprofessional behaviour at work?
They all are rubbish. Blaming others for one‘s own mistakes is maybe the worst.
What was missing is unreliable co-workers .... every month a week of sick leave, and when at work just doing little.
+ Sexual harassment
Disabilities harassment
These 'mistakes' are routinely done by people who advance. Really lousy list.
All this being said, it is however, mainly a farytale. If anyone of these kind of people mentioned is narcisistic, they will block public outcry with ease and convert most of detractors to followers and their enablers.

Rule #1 in making a video about this topic, babble on and on so the video is at least 10 minutes long
The confident Narcissist passive agresive male that pounds his fists on his desk, toxic behavior.
💀💀💀🤓☝️
Unprofessional behaviour is totally bad.
