CapRelo’s statistics continue to say that the worst traits coworkers could have are passive-aggression (33.7%), making excuses (18.4%), entitlement (15%), gossiping (14.6%) and control-freakishness (14.4%). Some also cited tardiness as a reason why they could potentially leave a job, though only nearly 4% said so, which likely means it’s more of a secondary reason.

I Have Been Writing A Fun Fact Every Week On An Unused Whiteboard At The Office. Someone Clearly Doesn’t Like It

My employer didnt contact me at all this weekend for work (i am a renovations contractor, monday to friday work schedule). I texted him this morning, and this was the conversation i had. This is the second time ive had to message him to figure out where im working and i have only been working for him for 8 days. In those 8 days, hes told me he restructured and fired all his staff 6 months ago and was working on a new team. Also told me he expects us to use personal vehicles to bring materials to site. A coworker was then told to pick up 10 bags of concrete in their vehicle

Some of the aforementioned traits can be anxiety-inducing and considered a likely part of the reason why a bit over two thirds, or 72%, of Americans feel that whatever they were responsible for doing wouldn’t be done if they were to go on vacation or for whatever other incapacitating reason… Because it’s quite plausible that Tim is just a lazy son of a gun.

A good way of mitigating the concentration of poor coworking fauna is remote work. And, no, it’s not necessarily because it creates an invisible wall that forces coworkers to mind their own beeswax instead of making polite conversation at the water cooler. In fact, for the most part, remote work has fostered a seemingly healthier boundary that helps manage coworkers in your general area.

And (and), again, if you’re wondering, Vermont is the state considered to have the highest coworker ratings, scoring a 4.05 out of 5 with the worst being Nevada at 3.44.So, if someone at work irks you, change can only be done through action, so be a good team player, and if that doesn’t work—quit. Because mental health is more important than training your tolerance levels.

Girlfriend’s cat (Phantom) has not been moving or eating much for two days. She works a very demanding job at a Credit Union in America and has desperately been trying to find time to send him to the vet. Apparently pyjama parties are more important…(I can’t take Phantom myself as I’m currently not in the country. Her position is WFH but every Wednesday they do something in office during the lead up to Christmas)
