Dirty dishes crowding the sink, a colleague working without shoes on, are these gross behaviors some of the undesirable work habits taking place in post-pandemic workplaces? 

While most people have been back at their desks for a while now, many have lost track of professional ethics. 

It's unintentional. After many months of working at home, people are out of practice working around others. What felt like second nature has become an effort, thus included in the many disadvantages of remote working. 

While some bad behaviors are minor enough to brush off, others could have great consequences that affect the collective morale and reputation of an organization. Employers must act quickly to nip unprofessional behaviors before they get out of hand and these disadvantages of remote working become a norm.
