Rules of the Office for Women

October 2nd, 2008

             There are all sorts of pitfalls a women should avoid at all costs in business and at the “office”

Here are some general guidelines-

- first do not have your office painted in any color or colour scheme but a standard run of the mill office color.   Resist the temptation to be “cute”  or trendy.  Conservative and staid is the best choice overall to present “stability” or the image of tried and true.  Blue and beige are the most basic  and widely used.

- do not have a flower on your desk.  It is the badge of a secretary

-  It is a good idea to keep an extra set of clothes in your office.  However keep them out of site.   It is as if you are broadcasting that you may spill something on yourself at any moment.  Not unlike an over controlling poor manager of a business who not only had closed circuit tv camera monitors proudly displayed in the front of his employment agency , webcams pointed at visitors with signs demanding “announce yourself”  and an exercise bicycle in full view in his office area - as if he had to offload great stress at each moment and was on the verge of a final nervous collapse.  What a relief that would of been to his workers from all the control efforts.

-   Lastly although men display pictures of their wives , their dogs and even their hunting buddies it is not a wise idea for a women to have her husband’s pictures on her desk.  However pictures of kids , grand kids and even pets seem to get a good response.
