Written by Reed Tinsley, CPA | February 2, 2010

Sometimes bad habits are fairly innocuous. However in the workplace, they can ruin a career and disrupt internal business. The January issue of the Journal of Accountancy (www.journalofaccountancy.com) listed 8 work habits that an employee needs to break as soon as possible. After reading them, they certainly apply to any person working in a physician office.
