Have An Eye On

A workplace warrants certain behaviour, so choose your words carefully before you speak. Being profane while talking and using crude mannerisms that could make you seem uncivilized should be avoided at all cost, as it does not align well with the acceptable corporate etiquette. It's always advisable to follow clean ethical work culture habits.
Be Easy To Approach

In today's fast moving corporate world not everybody understands the need for rapport building and effective communication. If you have any disagreement with your colleagues or you want your boss to reconsider a certain decision that he made, speak up. However be polite in whatever you have to say and never be rude. Always try building bridges and shortening the gaps.
Stay Away

Organisational policies for a fact don't entertain workplace romance. It creates bad influence on other employees and also gives room for distraction. Mind you, it would be very unethical hitting on your employee or your boss. If caught, you could lose your job and there's always the possibility of sexual harassment suit being filed against you. Never indulge in such actions.
It Does Not Belong To You

You may be the top performer out there but that doesn't mean you have the liberty of taking few things from office supplies back home. Whatever you may think or say to convince yourself, such an act isn't legal at all. If found doing so, you could end-up losing your job.
Stop And Don't Carry Forward

All of us like to hear and talk about something that which is fishy and interesting. Remember rumours are contagious, so if you hear something don't go ahead spreading it across the office. Think twice before you share it to the next person as there are always chances that you might get sacked for the act of spreading.
Not Quiet Often

Taking extended breaks when your boss is not around or calling in sick when you're perfectly alright can become a vital reason to get you dropped out of rolls. However that's okay once in a blue moon, when you're not in a mood and want to take a break from the daily routine, but not all the time. No organisation in the world would want its employees to do that because it directly affects productivity and growth.
It's Not Good For You To Know

In today's corporate world two employees with the same expertise or back ground are likely to take home different pay-checks. Reasons for the variations could involve many factors which employees generally don't understand. Knowing other's salary details only creates a bad work atmosphere, actually more often it sets the stage for petty quarrels and jealousy. So as a golden rule do not share or discuss salary information with a co-worker. Sharing such an information can only land your job in trouble.
Share A Favorable View Of Things

Negative comments and ideas have a negative impact at your workplace and they are not acceptable. If you think that it's a better way to start of a conversation remember it can lead you nowhere. Always be positive and start of with a positive note even if you have any complaints to share. Complaining about office technology or the setup is not ethical. As long as you get your pay checks on the right dates, you shouldn't be complaining of anything at all. If the management thinks that you're way too much to handle, it can even throw you out for this very reason.
Now Its Your Turn To Accept

Blaming somebody else for your mistakes proves you're dishonest. It would be very cruel of you to put the blame on somebody else and try escaping. If you think you had no other choice, remember everybody does make mistakes and no one is perfect either. Stop blaming others and be brave to accept the truth. If found doing so you could end-up losing your job for the blame game.
Time To Look Back

It has been a long journey with the company, you've proved and conveyed that you're goal driven, however don't even think you have settled out there and can do anything in the company. What ever you are in that company, if you're not punctual, clean and fail to dress-up professionally or behave professionally you'll always be on the danger zone. No matter what, its always advisable to follow the clean ethical work habits to avoid getting into any trouble.
