Sathi ho. I will be starting my first professional job soon. I don't know what to expect as I have only worked in gas stations and sandwhich stores. What are some of the work etiquette that I should know? Like how I should behave, what I should say. And should I bring my own luch or just eat out the first few days? What should I expect? Ekdamn nervous chu. Lack of confidence.

Sorry to hear that Star15 but nobody wants to do other people's work for them. You stressing too much brah. You sound like a guy that don't get out much. Try and socialize with people and get to know them. You should be aight.

First of all the work environment you described sounds a little toxic; is it sales/service kind of job? If possible look towards other opportunities; just don't tell your current employers until you actually have an offer. Till then, don't take work life too personally. Maybe the approach you have taken is a little strange to them. Do your work and see if there is anything you can do to make this thing ok.

star 15 , what you have seems to be common problem among us. Try to make your work life seperate from personal life. BUt I believe you said your manager is crazy, but she can be helpful in reality. You know who barks doesnt bite, its a old quotation, She might be helpful in re4ality, but those who doesnt speaks can be dangerous, they have everything being planned from inside, u gotta be careful from from them.If she is angry she might have a reason, her brother or husband also works in the same place and you might have tried to fire him for some reason and she might have retaliated, did you see from that angle? I have heard lots of stories abt this work place, even in my work place, a young guy made fired a 65 old guy coz he doesnt know proper english (chinese) and makes mistakes in writing report , the young worker instead of helping him , he just complains to the supervisior, it wanst a big deal for just correcting his english if its a teamwork, the coworker just want start to deliverable, at last the supervisior fired him and he came and spoke to that young coworker with tears in his eyes, now you made me fire this old guy and you have mde your job secured , good bye, it was kind of so boring day, i still remeber that day with tears in 65 yr old chinese, but mu suggestion will be try to mingle with all coworker, dont depend on just one guy, you need a plan b if worse things arises.
