How to piss off your new coworkers

1. Come on and don't listen to your  training. Yes it may be repetitive, you may know most of it BUT you may miss a few important differences between your new and old places of employment that differ. You do not get to change the rules. You really don't know everything and you are not the boss here. Ignoring other employees when they correct you because you did it "this way" at such and such a place won't cut it, you're not there not and that is not the way we do it here.

2. Insult and back stab all your coworkers hoping to take their positions. Most, Maybe not all have worked hard to get where they are and know what they are doing. Undermining them is rude and counterproductive. You lose any trust   or benefit of the doubt you will be a permanent outsider. Do the work and you will get where you want to be, screw people over and play them and you will get a ride on the  karma bus.

3. Don't pitch in and help out . No it may no be you job or you area. Yes your shift is over.  Throwing in a few extra few minutes to a half hour without being asked is hell on your back and feet but  can mean the world to the coworker-customer experience and the business bottom line meaning your future paycheck when times get tough and layoffs and hour cuts come. Hopefully the favors are returned. No they are not always returned so you kind of have to keep a mental note which most people do and let things work themselves out. Leave people in a lurch and run for the door every single day and you will be the shit head trust me.

4. Start out by being late, leaving early calling in sick and needing time off right away. You just got hired you are the relief everyone else has been putting in extra hours and waiting for a day off or an few extra hours out. You don't  get  to come in and take all the goodies without putting some time and effort in first.

5. Just don't be a know it all ass - meaning do not tell everyone else how to do their jobs, even if you know, even if you used to do that job some where else, that is not what you were hired for was it?
Do your own job and shut your yap. Don't back stab or tell the boss just do your job. If it is really that bad maybe that is just not the place for you to be working. Don't get me wrong if the cook is picking their nose and making snot burger stackers then well yea but if you just don't like the plate or the process just deal and shut the hell up and do your own job, because your not the cook or the boss.
