Professionalism and Aggressive Professionalism
- Adopt a persona of unflappable professionalism even if you feel upset or tired.
- Use "aggressive professionalism" to handle conflicts by staying firm but polite and avoid sinking to others' level.
Never Be Late to Shifts
- Always be early to shifts; consider arriving five to ten minutes early as on-time is late.
- If you are late, call ahead and sincerely apologize to maintain professionalism and respect.
Always Tell The Truth
- Never lie about any mistake or oversight, no matter how small it seems.
- Owning up to errors builds trust; lying damages your reputation beyond repair.
