Good employee

I believe what is a good employee is someone who has confidence - seriouse, yet playful, has passion and caring, someone who is great at netwotking with others, stays away from gosspis. Note: even administrators gossip about their empolyees I've seen it and over heard it. Someone who is secure in who they are doesn't front or act rude, willling to help whomever whenever if they are authorized to and if not, gets the correct person. It's what you are and what you aren't - be yourself.
