What are the most annoying "office habits" employees should break?

daily discussion on Drama serials,politics,personal issues for getting sympathy  and lame excuses.this all is ridiculous and one more thing which is unacceptable is not having etiquettes.

I think that morning chat with morning coffe is very annoying .

As the start of the day should start by work not by chat .

1. Chatting is probably one of the most common habits in any workplace, and especially in the MiddleEast where it tends to be acceptable. Chatting is not only wasting time, but can also lead to gossiping, leaking out of confidential infos - this brings nothing good to any organization.

 

2. Smoking! I have been living in Qatar for about a year and a half, and one thing I have noticed about Arabs (also other nationalities, but more with Arabs, and this is just an observation, no pun intended) - spending half of the day, stepping out of the workspace to smoke seems to be acceptable and a common practice. Well, especially big organizations, good health should always be promoted to employees - a healthy body will perform better longterm.

 

Also, spending time away from work, whether to chat around or to smoke, is a form of disrespect to fellow employees who are not doing these and do their jobs with more focus and dedication. And last but not the least, the company pays us for a reason. There are a lot of people nowadays without a job, we are chosen not randomly by luck by our employers, but by that concious decision that we have something to bring into the table.

Isolation.

Break or change "I' syndrome into "WE"

 

For me No.1 is

1. Tardiness

2. Chatting and laughing in times of work.

3. Unorganized

 

1. Gossip

2. Envy

3. Laziness

4. Incompetence

5. Unorganized

The most ever is when you find anything on the office at any place. and if you search for that thing you don't find it in its place.

A lot of people are used to being untidy, hate to apply system, hate to find everything in it's place.

By the way I can guarantee that they are untidy in their homes and lifes.

Another annoying thing like leaving cups of tea or coffee empty after drink without cleanning.

I got sick from those people my colleagues, what surprise me that if I speak about these bad habits with them, quickly they refer to me as a strange one came from another planet.

being loud in the open space

Wasting time.

To most enoying for management if someone wasting management time by involving management in own issue, following up for silly things, make arguments on task and so on. Colleagues can get in enoyed for same reason in addition to use of their tools, office stuff without returning back or relocate when return.

being punctual

Not coming to work on time and always being late. Don’t forget that your time is no more important than anyone elses.

 

Gossiping

There are always those extremely irritating people in every office who just love a good drama and are the first to share any scandal. Everyone gossips once in a while, but if you do it too much, it will give you a reputation of a person who cannot be trusted with any kind of information.

 

Dressing unprofessionally

Coming to work dressed in a t-shirt and baggy jeans that look like they will fall off any second is NOT cool. When you dress unprofessionally, it gives the impression that you don’t take your job seriously. It is very possible to assert your individual sense of style without compromising on professionalism.
