Five Things That Annoy Your Boss

It’s Monday, so I’m sure your enthusiasm for making Employee of the Month probably isn't as strong as usual. But if you're trying to get in good with your boss, here are a few things you might NOT want to do at work because they annoy virtually every boss:

Texting Your Boss Outside of Work. Even if it's work-related, it's usually not appropriate to text your boss unless it's REALLY important, and you don't have access to email. On the other hand, if they text YOU about something work-related, you should definitely reply.

Constant Use of the Word "Like" It can prevent you from GETTING a job, and the people at Cosmo say it has the potential to get you FIRED too. But at the very least, it makes you look dumb.

Asking Questions You Could Easily Answer Online. If you might be able to find the answer online, at least look for it before you ask your boss. Because when they Google it and find the answer immediately, you'll feel like a moron.

Chatting Online. As you'd expect, bosses hate this one, which is why a lot of companies block websites like Facebook. And if you're instant messaging or chatting on Facebook all the time, you boss will eventually notice.

Not Proofreading Emails. Typos can make you look really dumb, and everyone makes them...even geniuses. So make sure you proofread anything you send your boss.
