2. Knowing your employers expectations will enhance your work performance. However, doing things that are NOT APPROPRIATE may result in you being fired from your job.

3. Dressing Inappropriately…. will get you fired. “You never get a second chance to make a good impression.” is never more important than when you begin a new job. The initial impression you make when you begin your new job will stay with you as long as you are employed with that organization.

4. Businesses are more conservative…so… Cover all those tattoos… Take out all those piercings….

5. Lying (Perjury) on Application or Resume… will get you fired. People will check your information.

8. Theft of Materials… can get you fired. Don’t ever remove any material that is to be left at the job, and take it home. This is NOT borrowing. Employers now install cameras to keep a watchful eye on you!!! Ask to use the property. Take care of the property. Point out you RETURNED the property.

9. Theft of Services … can get you fired. While at work you should not take personal time out to conduct your own business. You are “stealing” time from your job. This costs the company money. Make personal calls when you are home. Cigarette breaks during your own free time. Take time off at your break time. The job needs to get done!!

10. Too Many Absences… can get you fired. Employees should take Sick Days when health related problems put them and others at risk. More than 5 sick days taken for one year will be considered poor attendance. Don’t ask for personal time off or ask to come in late.
