5 Amateurish Behaviors That Can Harm Your Career
2. Lack of Good Manners: Opting for hugs over handshakes, using mobile phones during meetings, and taking a joke too far, are some of the behavior that shows the lack of etiquettes.

Even worse, poor manners can make people around you feel uncomfortable and can be offended, which can lead to serious problems at workplace.

3. Lack of Perspective: It is a fact that people who appear unaware of the things going on outside their personal space are not taken seriously in most cases.
