There are two sentences here that hint at a bad work habit.

1. She always shows up for work later than she is expected to but delivers her assignments as per her deadlines.

Here we see that Samantha not only is late to work, but she does it regularly. This is an example of a bad work habit, as being on time is one of the responsibilities of an employee. This also sends a bad massage to her coworkers, if she is not punished for it. That can lead to disorganization and loss of production.

2. She always tries her best to learn new skills even though she does not show up for work regularly.

Again, showing up for work is a must, except your company does not explicitly have a flexible work schedule that allows people to work from home or make their own working hours. In Samantha's case that does not seem to be the case and thus this is a bad habit.
