10 Things You Should Never Do at Work

From the e-mails we "forget" to return to the voice mails we "never received," telling little white lies has become a very real part of our workplace routine. For the most part, we get away with it. After all, we tell ourselves, who are we really hurting? Anything beyond the occasional fib, however, and the lines get blurred.

To avoid a serious faux pas - and possible career sabotage - stay clear of the following 10 workplace sins:

1. Stealing
