From the Paper:

"Unprofessional employees are not necessarily the ones that have insufficient qualifications for the job. They also include employees that are impolite, rude, refuse to follow instructions, miss critical details, and lack follow-up. Some of them are slovenly or dress inappropriately. Their overall demeanor shows that they are uninterested in the work that they are doing and are not troubled about their performance. Unprofessional employees generally perform poorly and often ruin the company image. Their working behaviors can give the companies many serious consequences which affect profit margins, productivity, other employees and the future of the businesses."
