The Difference of a GOOD Worker and a BAD Worker Well a good worker puts concentration and effort in what he does. He has passion  and knows of the consequences at stake should he try to do something wrong, thus he will not do it.   A good worker follows company rules, observes proper hygiene and is careful on his actions.   He is a man of morals and has his etiquette. While a bad worker  is someone who is lazy and thinks only for himself. He does not  follow company rules and is rude to his peers. Bad workers tend to get lousy jobs, though some exist in the corporate world as well.

Workplace Do's & Don'ts Now for example let's say I have a job where I face different customers everyday who've different personalities. I can either be a call center agent, a clerk, a concierge or some guy at customer service. As a person who has to deal with new people everyday I have a duty and responsibilities to uphold. In general I have to be someone who speaks of integrity. Each and every word I shall say must be vital and necessary to the case at hand, and must not speak ill whenever I'm engaging with a customer. The following are common tips of what and what not to do whenever present in a workplace: 1. "Punctuality is important." Avoid being late and if you can't go to work, then  at least inform them a few days before. In case of emergencies, call your supervisor and explain him your situation. 2. "Be considerate to your fellow employees." Example is you're working on a sales company, whenever you see a workmate

As ethics guide me through my daily life, of course it lies weigh to my morality. As such, I become a rational and believable being, following society's laws and acting for the good of all. We have different theories of ethical behavior, one in particular is utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is the act of doing what will benefit the many.

Bullying will never fruit to something good and will only lead to ruined relationships, depression, anxiety, and sometimes even suicide. And so as the same with cyber bullying, wherein many people hide their faces in fake accounts and bash other people for their flaws.  2.
