Avoid Commenting on Appearance at Work
Commenting on a colleague's appearance, including compliments or criticisms, can lead to discomfort in the workplace. In the US, such comments may be considered sexual harassment regardless of the intent. It's crucial to focus on professional traits like work ethic and accomplishments rather than physical attributes. This shift reflects the importance of creating a comfortable and safe environment in the modern workplace.
