Have you ever had a feeling that people are not talking to you, trying to avoid you often or are talking behind you? Most of the time it is just in your head but sometime it could be real as well. Here are few of those habits that could be making you look bad at work.
1. Showing Up LateWhen you are working in a team you can not behave indifferently. If everybody is coming on time then it becomes your moral duty to come on time as well and help maintain the discipline. If you break the rule, then others may try to copy your bad habit which can eventually become a headache for the manager, for which you might face the consequences.
2. Dressing Poorly

Dressing poorly gives an impression of being a slob, even when you are not. Do you want people to stay away from you?
3. Calling In Sick Way Too OftenIf you are calling sick too often to take an off, just because you have no other excuse, then you are giving a wrong impression to your employer or manager. They might assume that you are unfit for the role and may start looking for your replacement.
4. BraggingIt is good to have high self-confidence, but then there is a fine line between knowing you are good at what you do and telling the universe that you're great at it. Talking too much about yourself gives people an impression that you are an all talk no action kind of guy.
5. Swearing Or Foul Mouthing Constantly

It is always good to keep your language in check even if your organization might be quite relaxed about it. You simply can't go overboard with your liberties.
6. Talking Too Much About Your Personal LifeIt is fine to share your personal situation with your closest friends when you are stressed out, but restrain from making a habit of crying to everyone and anyone you talk to in the office. Your *** life or your family problems are your headaches. Don't annoy other people with them. If you do so, you will come across as the guy who always annoys people by making them hear your sad stories.
7. Having A Messy Desk

If your desk looks like a washed out war zone then you will find very few people who will respect you as someone to share space with.
8. Being ArrogantBeing confident is one thing. Being a drum beating pompus douche is another. Be the latter and see how you become the office pariah!
