"&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Your boss will appreciate it if you follow the rules of office etiquette\u00A0as will your coworkers. For example, you should use your cell phone properly, have good table manners, and know how to write email for business correspondence and to use the telephone at work.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;More:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; Office Etiquette&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;When you make a mistake at work, which everyone inevitably does at some point, admit it. You shouldn&amp;amp;#39;t ignore your error or place the blame on others. Instead, you must take responsibility and come up with a way to fix your mistake. Your boss may not be too happy that you made a mistake to begin with, but she will at least recognize that you responded well.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;More:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/mistakes-at-work-526244&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Mistakes at Work&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Do you think coming to work when you&amp;amp;#39;re sick instead of staying at home will impress your boss? Reasonable bosses know that a sick employee not only isn&amp;amp;#39;t productive, he or she can spread an illness around the office rendering everyone else unproductive. Call in sick when you need to. Your boss and your coworkers will appreciate it.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;More:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.thebalance.com/calling-in-sick-to-work-526246&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Calling in Sick to Work&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;When the unexpected happens at work, who will make a better impression on the boss: the employer who panics or the one who springs into action?
