11.) Not being an asshole

Also gonna kind of call that "body language" one out because some people are seriously naturally non-talented at nonverbal communication.

And some flop around like a tasered fish out of water, I'd be happy if some of my staff didn't stand around all shift while their coworker busts ass for 8 hours.

So much experience talking

I'm also going to call out "being on time" and the rest of the list. These are all life skills. Life skills take talent to master. It's why when we strip away all the inequality and look at an equal field, two people with the same degree and the same experience can perform so different in life and work. Organization and other life skills are things some people have more than others, but anyone can get better at.

Know your boundaries. Little things make you look committed to the job. Big things.... well, you'll end up like me, the secondary supervisor, trainer, data entry, and receptionist at a place for three years.... while being paid less than every single person I was training and supervising.

Very true. It's a fine line. Getting more in position, pay, and opportunity often requires we take on more to prove we are able and have initiative; but it also requires us to ask for recognition and compensation. When we take on a responsibility as "part of our job" it's taken for granted that is what you do as opposed to being extra. Little things here and there can help make you liked as "favors" but a general guide is to take on critical responsibility. I won't complain that someone is cleaning the floors or answer the phones for free, but it's not worth much money to me and those aren't skills I look for in a director or VP. Show you shine where it counts, but make sure you're appreciated for it before you give more.
