    I think the answers below are good ones, but I'm not sure why you need to come to a board like this. Common sense should tell you that showing up on time, doing the job you're assigned, properly using sick leave/time off and keeping interactions with co-workers professional (no gossip, fighting, staying out of work drama, keeping any personal drama to yourself) are the bare minimums you need to do to keep any job. If you've got a specific situation you're concerned about (like your boss wants you to clock out early but still work, favoritism, unethical behavior on your/your boss'/your co-worker's part) we can certainly help you sort through something you're not sure about.

    What I've seen:

    Poor performance (with documentation) (and this goes hand in hand with incompetence)

    Sexual harassment

    Bullying

    Lying during pre-employment process

    Drunk at work

    Drug dealing

    Poor performance and not fiting well on a team. Breaking with company policy and not contributing to the mission of the company.
