This trait does not make you popular with colleagues

They always say something about good neighbors and distant friends, right? I would like to propose the same when it comes to colleagues. They know every hiccup in your day, from the yogurt that was gone at breakfast this morning to the fact that you urinate so bizarrely much in an hour. With a bit of bad luck or luck, they might have even seen you cry badly in the bathroom because of that argument this morning. Since you (willingly or unwillingly) spend about forty hours a week with them, I hope for your sake that they do not have one specific trait. Or you.

Research by Comparably among over 20,000 people with colleagues shows that 28 percent has a terrible dislike for the colleague with a negative personality. I find this a broad concept, because what I consider a negative personality might be a relief for you. More concretely explained, it means that we have a brotherly dislike for that one who is always complaining about work or badmouthing other colleagues, closely followed by the poor work attitude at 25 percent and an arrogant or conceited attitude at 19 percent.

What I find amusing is that we apparently worry less about the confused chaotic person who is consistently late, because only 11 percent can deal poorly with this. Presumably, these are the types who are always 15 minutes early, making latecomers seem even later than they already are. The research is indeed correct that latecomers are the nicest people.

If you think that getting annoyed is human and that there is always a rotten apple wilting in every office garden: the problem is a bit more serious. No less than 30 percent of respondents consider quitting due to the negative attitude of such a colleague.

Good luck with them, huh…
