Showing up late to work
"Punctuality is critical," says Rosalinda Oropeza Randall, an etiquette and civility expert and author of "Don't Burp in the Boardroom."
"The professional thing to do is to arrive on time, ready to do what is expected. It's not like they just sprung this job on you," she says.

"Keeping people waiting can be construed as inconsiderate, rude, or arrogant," Randall says.

"Remember the adage that half of life is showing up," Oliver says.
You won't prove you deserve the promotion if you call in sick every few weeks.
