How not to become a problem employee

Lying

First of all, people who are prone to deception can be attributed to problem employees. You can identify such an employee at the selection stage. If a candidate gives false information during an interview or in a resume, he may immediately be blacklisted. Now it’s not difficult to determine a lie. A recruiter can do this, for example, by contacting former candidate employers or by checking data through the company's security service.

If the employee is not able to admit and take responsibility for the mistakes made, the employer is unlikely to want to continue working with him. Remember that everything secret always becomes apparent.
Process people

It is possible to conditionally divide employees into two categories: result-oriented and process-oriented. Problematic employees are often people of the second category. This manifests itself most often when setting a task - such employees immediately begin to look for obstacles that impede its implementation, they will constantly look for problems in their path and move away from making decisions.

Identify people who are more focused on the process than the result can already be in the interview: they rarely use the phrases “I did”, “I achieved”, “I decided” and can not tell about their achievements in past jobs, but only list their skills and responsibilities that they performed.

We must try to be more responsible and remember that any task has a goal and an end result, employees who understand this are most valuable.
Ego

Many employers prefer employees who know how to work in a team, rather than single heroes. Such an employee can be either a find for the company or a problem, and determining this line is very difficult. Loners very often consider their work to be the most important and require special conditions for themselves. It is worth remembering that there are no irreplaceable people, and management can simply find a less professional employee, but more executive, for your position. Be careful when pulling the blanket over you.
Emotional fatigue

We all get tired, and this fatigue can accumulate over the years and break a person emotionally. Such employees lose interest, attention, concentration, often make mistakes. The reason for this can be not only difficult, responsible work, but also routine. For this reason, employers are interested in your personal hobbies when hiring. Favorite hobbies, social activity, interests, in addition to professional activities, can protect a person from such “burnout”. If you feel that you are prone to this, then do not forget about the diversity in life, because you can harm not only the employer, but first of all yourself.
Humanity

You can be problematic not only for superiors, but also for your colleagues. People who do not know how to find a common language with others envy everything, shift their work to others and constantly try to assert themselves, will never take root in the team, and therefore in the company.

Try to look for the problem in yourself and not in others. If you cannot work on yourself, then your professional path will become very complicated.
