#SakitSaUlo #HagsKeey #AmvotSaImo 10 Signs Youre A Bad Employee If you live by your own rules at work, youre not going to remain employed for very long. Confidence and self-esteem in the workplace can go a long way. Too much of either, though, and you may end up being the dreaded problem employee. If youve got an inflated sense of self-worth or are just ignorant of how your bosses and co-workers perceive you, you could be dragging your team down without even realizing it. Want to find out if youre the office outcast? Take a look at the list below. 1. Youre always late. Maybe you just happen to move slowly in the morning, the line at your favorite lunch place adds 10 minutes to your break, or important calls seem to always come up before meetings. Whatever the case, rationalizing it wont help your reputation. Habitually poor time management will make your boss see you as selfish, disrespectful, unreliable, and disorganized. 2. You make a lot of excuses. People take notice when your excuses for why you cant do something outnumber the times you successfully do your work. And if problems you cant solve do arise during the day, communicate them to your boss and colleagues immediately and honestly. 3. You complain about unexpected assignments. Nobody likes the surprise of extra work, but if you regularly communicate your dissatisfaction with grumbling or even an explicit denial of the assignment, you will be labeled as someone with a poor work ethic. 4. You love to gossip. Getting the inside scoop on your colleagues can be hard to resist, and sharing all your problems with coworkers can be cathartic. But after time, rumors and complaints will be associated with you, and you will lose the respect of your peers. 5. Youre convinced youre the smartest person in the office. Lets just assume that you are as brilliant as you think you are; youre still part of a team. And arrogant employees who dont respect the corporate hierarchy arent going to last very long. 6. You dont believe in your companys mission or values. If youre regularly making snarky remarks about what your employer stands for, your colleagues will likely have a hard time trusting your judgment on decisions. If you separate yourself from your company, then your employer is going to catch on and could separate from you. 7. Youre noticeably less productive than your colleagues. If your boss seems to be spending more time with you than your coworkers, and these colleagues are constantly having to assist you, your employer may eventually determine that trying to improve your performance is a waste of time and money. 8. Your colleagues clearly dont enjoy working with you. If it seems like coworkers arent making eye contact with you or are uncomfortable when working with you on a project, it may actually be because they are afraid of you, or at least categorize you as a bad team-player. If youre too aggressive or pushy, youll come to be seen as a lone wolf that no one wants to deal with. 9. You find yourself regularly apologizing to clients — or having your boss do it for you. Everyone makes mistakes, but if it seems like your customers are regularly dissatisfied with your work, your employer is going to start seeing you as a danger to the company. 10. You cant take no for an answer. If you find yourself defending your idea even after everyone has expressed he or she disagrees with it, youll start to be seen as a troublemaker. Sometimes you just need to let things go for the sake of the team. ph.she.yahoo/10-signs-youre-bad-employee-205848861.html?fb_action_ids=10201422557705793&fb_action_types=og.recommends&fb_ref=facebook_cb&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582
