At work, there are deadlines to meet and tasks to perform. If you are inefficient and make a lot of errors, it gives a very bad impression about your work ethics and performance. Your manager will take notice of you and will give you warnings which can also lead to permanent termination.

Discipline
A workplace has many people working in the same room and sharing an office with you. It isn’t necessary to be friends with all of them but you need to be civil. Do not indulge in any sort of fights as this will be a problem for others too, and the employer can fire you on disciplinary grounds.

Private Life
You need to balance your private and professional life. If the boss catches you on the phone all the time with your spouse or any other family member, it can be a problem. Do not do your house chores in the office.
