7 Tips to Avoid Coming Across as a Snob at the Workplace
5. Don’t try to lick your boss’ boots
It’s very annoying for your colleagues when they see you always being the boss’ pet and using him as means to getting your ideas to be accepted. It’s not going to earn you any popularity but only make you look snobbish and arrogant.
6. Listen actively and attentively
When you have meetings, discussions or are trying to resolve issues, you don’t have to act like you know everything and listen to no one. Try to be an active listener and value their opinions.
7. Do little favors for your coworkers
Be friendly with your colleagues. Hang around with them, have lunch, share jokes and perhaps get them sweets or things they like to eat at times. Building rapport will help them understand you better.
