I believe your attitude plays a huge role, especially when overemployed. If you are mean or rude to your colleagues, they may not offer assistance. If you are kind or supportive, they may approach you to help, which, in turn, makes completing tasks by the deadline much easier.

Even if J1 & J2 are remote, do you agree (or not) that your attitude towards others makes a difference in your success?

Hi!
For sure it does. Your great attitude might also inspire others to improve their attitudes too.

Hi! This is very true! A good morale, by team or department, benefits everyone and makes for a positive work environment.

Attitude can matter a lot. Sometimes, especially if you're working remotely, you don't have much call to interact with people, so it's not a factor. But it's always true that people prefer to work with people who are easy to get along with. So just being friendly and upbeat, even moderately so, can play to your benefit. If you seem to have a lousy attitude, that will come across and people will just be less likely to want to deal with you. So that can close off future work.

I definitely agree. I think just in general your attitude and how you carry yourself really does make a difference in how your day to day goes. Its better to be kiind and helpful and I find that having a postiive attitude is very important.

Thank you! I also believe that attitude is a true measure of a person. A positive one helps the newly hired staff understand that productivity goes hand-in-hand with a healthy (and happy) environment.

Yes it absolutely does. I was treated like crap on my last job towards the end after putting in so many hard hours etc. But during my time on the assignment there were 2 evil females that you can tell favorite one another and always put me out to be the bad guy. I always was willing to help and ones of the others was always calling off clocking out early but yet always got credit for doing the work. I got fed up with it and started to slack off and not work as hard. I finally confronted them about showing favoritism of course they denied it and turned it around on me that it was my imagination but it was right there in black and white and towards the end the one female always off work ran to the BOSS making me the BAD GUY.... How you treat a person even if it's remote has a great deal how your attitude changes and what effort you want to put into your task treat me equally not as if I don't exist or belong. That's why it's called TEAM WORK

I can understand what you are saying. If I had a penny for each time I was "teamed up" with someone only concerned about themselves or continually throwing people under the bus to make them look good and throw shade on you, I would always be retired. Confidence is one thing, but arrogance is something else.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
