It's also intimidating to your boss who sees you as a threat in line for their position

Love your tip to build meaningful relationships with your coworkers. It's important to stay connected and positive which will make for a great professional reputation. Having been in business for 20+ years, I've definitely seen both the good and bad examples of this. Cheers!

This is great! Most people only care about promotions and raise in salaries forgetting that company would give value for value. My take away is "Instead of asking when can i get promoted, ask what do I need to do to start contributing at higher level?" :)

Appreciate the video and the time you took out for us.

Always enjoying your videos! Great suggestions with practical advice and in a down-to-earth way.

- Another suggestion on how to be professional is to limit the amount of empty gossiping. If you get a gossiper reputation, no one will trust you with anything important.
- Never complain to much about how the tasks are too confusing or too complicated or that you're not in the mood to do it. This all spells huge personality problems, especially responsibility wise. Always try to think HOW you can start doing the task and as soon as you start, it's going to get done.
