  2. Be a team player: Having a good interpersonal relationship at your workplace and being a good team player would go a long way in helping you to retain your job. Always have your team’s back and contribute to every task at hand if you want to remain at your job for a long time.

Don’t complain about your workload: There are times you will have a lot on your plate, but you should try as much as possible not to complain about your workload, especially not to your supervisor or boss, or you might be kissing your job goodbye. If you still love your job and want to retain it, don’t complain about the workload.
  4. Stay away from office gossip and stay on everybody’s good side: Don’t get too comfortable at your workplace and decide to get involved in office gossip. Be careful about what you discuss at the office and try to be on everybody’s good side.

  7. Leave your personal problems out of the office: People go through different personal issues, but you should leave your issues out of the office. You should be able to differentiate between your work life and your personal life,
  8. Learn new skills: The world keeps evolving, and if you don’t up your game and join the trend, you might be left behind. It is important that you improve your skills and learn new skills to help you retain your job or become eligible for a promotion. Growth is crucial, and if you refuse to grow, you might be forced to give up your job.
