LinkedIn post shares 7 ‘bad’ habits at work that can cost you your job!

Thinking "That's Not My Job" comes first in the list of bad habits at a workplace. Instead, individuals should be willing to contribute where needed. 

Blaming others for your mistakes is considered a bad habit at the workplace. One should own their mistakes and learn from them.

Doing the bare minimum is another obstacle to a successful career. Individuals must know to take initiative and go beyond expectations.

Bringing negativity to work creates a negative environment. One should find solutions instead of just problems.

 Not adapting to feedback will play another obstacle to your career and limit your growth opportunities. 

Overpromising and underdelivering will impact your career growth. Individuals should be realistic about what they can handle.

Treating meetings like a waste of time can limit your professional learning. Instead, try to engage by sharing insights.
