work help: I was written up at work because I had a bad day last Thursday. - Help.com

First of all. When you go to work, you should never let anyone see you sweat. What I mean by that is you should always be in control of yourself. Everyone has a bad day now and then, we know that, but when you’re in a work environment, the boss doesn’t care about your personal life. Any business is in business for one reason and that is to make money. You may not want to hear all this, but I couldn’t help but answer this. I am in sales and when I’m at work, it’s showtime! Doesn’t matter what is going on in my life, and if someone is doing something that is not related to work, it is none of my business. Remember, the least you say, the better off you are. The less you know (about fellow employees’) the better off you are. If you want to go further in your business or career, the best thing to do is . . . your best. Hope this helped. Also, a good thing to do is apologize to your boss for your conduct and mention that it will never happen again. Makes you look good on paper.
