Office Etiquette

• E-mail or even instant messaging can be useful in
  this context to communicate to co-workers without
  unnecessary noise.
• Keep computer sound levels low.
• Try to avoid eating hot food at your desk. The
  aromas may distract those who are hungry or
  disgust those who are not hungry or who dont
  share your food preferences.

Office Etiquette

• Act as if your co-workers cubicles have doors.
  Dont just barge in and start talking Knock on
  the cubicles walls.
• Dont be a prairie dog, peering over the tops
  of cubes to see if someone is in or to talk.
• If you go to see someone in their cubicle, and
  theyre on the phone, leave and come back later.
  Dont hang around where you can readily overhear
  their conversation.
• If you have to share a cubicle or workspace with
  a colleague, you might want to suggest arranging
  different breaks or lunchtimes so each person
  gets at lease some privacy regularly.

Office Etiquette

• Heres a really challenging one You may overhear
  a question or comment occasionally and be tempted
  to respond because you know the right answer.
  Unless the question is directed to everyone in
  the area, dont do it! It will bring attention
  to the fact that youve been eavesdropping,
  intentionally or not. Wait until someone asks
  you directly.
