oh yes, by the way, great article
by DV Nayak on Aug 30, 2008 04:19 PM

This is a very nice article. Thanks :-)

In particular I liked these:
It is a serious breach of business etiquette to divulge what has been discussed at any meeting with a third party -- consider it confidential.

Do not strive to pull a colleague down just to get the approval of the boss. This will backfire on you in the long run.

A secure and efficient worker never grudges another's success. Envy and jealousy among co- workers ruins the working environment for everyone.

And yes, if your company has some truly good natured people cherish their acquaintance.
But dont get "seen around in groups" - bosses are really insecure jerks and just need the slightest excuse to trouble an unwanted person.

If (_IF_) the team is good overall, be good. It works.

Your boss might be your god today, but if you have to switch jobs, your acquaintances made in good spirit could assist you in getting a new better job.

Be respectful, stand straight, dont bootlick.

to have etiquette to spread you need some ethics

which are rarer to find Einsteinium.
Ethics in the business world is a "human rights" concept - open hypocrisy.
If you actually have goal other than personal profit, your beahvior will be good all the time.
The problem is that we teach all freshers to be cut-throat competitors, not mature collaborators. Although in the biggest copanies around the world, the atmosphere is the same, it need not be correct. Because it goes against a basic tendency of humans to feel secure. This particular insecurity takes out most of the creativity from the worker.
Contrast that with the new world hi-tech companies -those that adopt green measures, nurture their employees and try to create bonds between employees. You will find that most of these companies are tech companies with the desire to achieve a _technical_ goal. That makes people cooperate. If the only goal is to become a higher an higher manager or boss, then there is onyl one thing to be said: there's only one chair at the top an _everyone_ is trying to get there - stupidity of highest order.
And then when yoru boss manipulates your emotions, you act like a donkey.
Even BEs and BTechs from IIT and RECs slowly degrade themselves into corporate bootlicking donkeys.
Sad, but true.
Been there.
Seen that.
So, left it.

"Even BEs and BTechs from IIT and RECs slowly degrade themselves into corporate bootlicking donkeys."... "Well Said"...

Yeah.. and a mighty sick problem of the guys from RECs and IITs are that they never get over there WONDER years, and just try to keep f***ing up the whole atmosphere by telling what hot shits they are while producing peanuts of work.
Yeah you read it right.. someone juss lost his manners.

WORKPLACE ETIQUATES AND MANNERS
by parkash luthra on Aug 30, 2008 03:33 PM

SUCH MESSAGES LOOK GOOD IN LOOKING AND NOT IN ACTUAL PRACTICE. MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WITH
COURTEY AND LOVE I COULD WIN BUT LATER FOUND THAT I AM DRIFTED TO WALL. ALL GOODNESS THOUGH
DISAPPEARED BECAUSE OF BACK ABUSING TO SAY THAT KEEP THE PERSON ON GUARD AND HE BECOMES RETICENT. HAVE ATTENDED ABOUT THIRTY SEMINARS ON QUALITY AND APPROACH TO HUMAN BEINGS BUT WITH THE CHANGE OF TIME BEING EVERYONE FOR MONEY AND PERSONAL BENEFITS ALL ETIQUATES HAVE VANISHED AND DISAPPEARED IN THE WIND NOT SEEN AN IOTA OF IT PRACTICALLY. DO YOU WRITE ONTHIS SUBJECT.

double standards

Why do women expect to be treated like special and in certain situations get piqued when treated specially saying they are equal and they wanted to be treated equally with men.

Hi..my friend it is an etiquette/manners in a civilized society..women do not demand it...
do elders demand that you should always stand up to greet them.
have your parents ever demanded that you should touch their feet to seek blessings...however you do it irrespective of being asked...

Parents says that from the childhood considering in certain sections of religion they specifically inculcate that from the childhood,

And i agree with /agnostic that women consider themselves as equal yet they want special reserved seats in BEST buses, and young womens and girls needs that special treatment??

Sir it all depends on the perception of the person at that point..being a little practical helps a lot and one should know how to keep personal life away from the professional one.
