Hi Hopefull,

I think some of the things you described are really important. Some of those basic things - like arriving on time, and leaving at the end of shift....dressing appropriately....staying on task as much as possible....those are all good goals. Being courteous to customers is another big plus, and with your coworkers, so there can be a good work environment.

I'd say another helpful thing is to see if your job has a job description associated with it. These days, a lot of jobs do. If your job does, that will give you a written guideline of what is expected of you. If not, you and your boss may be able to develop one together. Sometimes it helps to have a written guide of what is (and isn't!) expected of an employee. :-) (i.e., you're not expected to make the morning coffee, perhaps......LOL.......I used to get stuck doing that even though it wasn't in my job description!!!!!!! tee hee hee)

Hang in there!

Take care,
