Is there a course to learn office etiquette? Social skills?

Think I’m really trash at work, 25 years old and can’t really seem to do anything great. I might actually be autistic since I have been stuck in the same role for a while.

Is there a course I can take to learn office etiquette? And office situations? And social skills?

If you have been working for a while you genuinely should have been learning stuff on the fly through practice and observation

I grew up broke asf in the underclass and had to basically adjust my mannerisms and habits when I started hanging around PMC / High Society types whilst entering IB

You can be intentional with it by reading material like Debrette, Emily Post etc. I needed to do this when I realised I had no clue how to operate in formal dinners

But the most important thing is practice and exposure, you can't get better at things if you aren't trying, no matter how many manuals you read on how to leave your knife on your plate or greet someone
