The "I hate my Admin Asst" thread got me thinking:

What are some things you feel are necessary for people to know at work these days?


I am sure it may vary depending on one's field/title.

For me:
1.) How to use a computer and basic programs (i.e. email, Microsoft word).
2.) Reporting to a supervisor if there's something going on with a client that could put them in danger
3.) Calling 911 if someone is in danger
4.) Trying to figure out stuff on your own before going to your supervisor with every little thing (especially if you have most of the answers to this stuff right in front of you).
