Complaining – Complaining is quite normal, but to complain for each and every thing even in perfect conditions is considered a bad habit. You may even be called a complain box in your office by your colleagues.
Excessive Flirting – Giving compliments is good, such as you look great, your shirt colour is nice etc. but when you try to flirt saying, You look too hot, it sounds a bit unprofessional. There are many people who indulge in excessive flirting to climb the corporate ladder, this in turn makes them lose respect among their co-workers.
Procrastination – Putting your task or job for a later time is not a good thing. It only piles up your work and reduces your efficiency. You would find procrastinators ( a person who procrastinates) asking you for tiny smoke and coffee breaks or would stop by your cubicle to chat about everything, but not work. Such people often miss their deadlines.
Pleasing unnecessarily – You cannot make everyone happy at work, if you try to please everyone around you to create a good impression, you are wrong. Stop doing that as you would end up losing efficiency at your tasks. You cannot impress each and every one, do what you are good at and for what you are hired to do. Slang term used for people who try to please unnecessarily is ‘Boot Lickers’
Pulling too many jokes – Jokes are good as they lighten up the atmosphere. But if you have jokes for every situations they will lose their wittiness and would be more annoying, you cannot expect people to laugh all the time. Verbal humour to an extent is acceptable, but pranks may not be acceptable by everyone.
Causing conflicts – I am sure you must have come across a co-worker who enjoys creating misunderstandings among colleagues which lead to fights and spoils the work environment. If you are one of those you are sure to lose respect and trust. Your colleagues would stop trusting you and nobody would be impressed by such conflicts.

Pronunciation: ALLOW, LOW, and other words ending in -OW
source: Espresso English 2018年1月14日
Pronunciation Course: https://www.espressoenglish.net/ameri...
Today we're going to practice pronunciation of words ending in -ow. I noticed a mistake that some of my students are making with this word: (allow). They are saying it like "alloe," but it's actually pronounced "allow." It's funny, the words low (the opposite of high) and below (which means "under") have the same "o" sound in "no" - low, below. But the word allow has the ow sound as in the words now and how.
How to Use 'Should', 'Ought to', 'Supposed to' and 'had better'
source: Oxford Online English 2017年2月9日
See the full version: http://www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/sh...
We use the verbs 'should', 'ought to', 'supposed to' and 'had better' to say what you or other people think is the right thing to do.
That means these verbs express advice, opinion, criticism or (for 'had better'), warnings or threats.
'Should' and 'ought to' have the same meaning, although 'ought to' is much more formal and is not commonly used in spoken English.
'Supposed to' refers to what other people think is right, while 'should' expresses what you think is right.
'Had better' expresses the idea that something bad will happen if you don’t do what I say. This is why 'had better' can also be used to make threats or give someone a warning.
In this lesson, you'll learn more about:
- What 'should' means and how it compares to 'ought to', 'supposed to' and 'had better'.
- When you can/can't use 'ought to' instead of 'should'.
- The difference between 'should' and 'supposed to'.
- The meaning of 'had better' and how to use it.
