Habits are easily hated by coworkers

A survey in the UK revealed habits that are offensive to colleagues of office workers. In it, those who regularly send email to colleagues sitting right next to them or never hook up to pay for water invite colleagues to be listed as "most hateful".

The Institute for Leadership and Management in the UK conducted a survey of more than 2,000 managers and directors in both the public and private sectors to find out the most annoying habits of office workers. .

Topping the list of "nightmare colleagues" are people who are not on time. Nearly two-thirds of the managers said that colleagues who arrived late in the morning or late in the meeting made them most uncomfortable.

Occupying the second place on the blacklist is those who like to send email, instead of talking directly to colleagues "even sitting opposite each other" . 56% of respondents chose this to be their "obnoxious" habit.

The fairness of water tea is also a reason that makes office people lose points in their colleagues' eyes.

Working clothes are also an easy problem. According to the survey results, people wearing clothes are too revealing, suggestive or wearing flip-flops in the workplace easily catch the lack of sympathetic eyes of colleagues.

In addition to the above "bad habits " , those who are called "nightmare colleagues" in the workplace can also possess other annoying habits such as letting the phone ring too loud; regular breaks to smoke; leave dirty, smelly dishes on the desk after breakfast / lunch; still working when seriously ill; or gossip about other colleagues; open discussion on top secret issues related to work; take children or young children to the office .

Charles Elvin, executive director of the Institute of Leadership and Management (UK), emphasized: "When groups of key employees work in the office in close contact for a long time, we will see the Things that seem trivial, inconsequential can develop into a big problem, if not controlled. They can start to annoy and hate among colleagues. "

The survey report of the Institute of Leadership and Management has called for office workers to change their annoying habits to become a model colleague. A helpful advice is, avoid using email for some communication situations. Email can be "emotionally and unclear" , and many problems can be better addressed via phone.
