The one who somehow thinks they control how a task/report/meeting should be done while adding nothing of value as they take credit for doing it.
I've seen more and more "compilers". These are people who don't add any value, analysis or any data to a project or report. They go around asking when your section of a report will be done so they can take the final version (all done by other people) and pdf it to send to the boss. They don't include you or the other colleagues who did the report/project on the e-mail to senior management so they can take all the credit for doing it. Two days ago I called someone out on this in a very passive-aggressive way. It was quite fun watching them fumble for words when they couldn't say they were responsible for any of the sections other than actually sending it out.
I am #3. I don’t come to work to make friends. I come to work because I have bills to pay. I come off a bi*ch and not many people like me here.. Just because I am not social and I don’t like to gossip like the other women here. I don’t have time for that non sense. I have a picture of me and my BF on my desk and ppl always ask me about him. They just want something to talk about during their breaks and lunch time. (I have had to sit through their gossip sessions. They know too much about some people).
They ALWAYS have pot luck dinners.. Always collecting money for something. (At least once a week) Whether it’s someone birthday, baby shower, last week at this job.. they always collect money for luncheons. I usually say no especially because I don’t always know the person they are collecting for.
I should add, I hate the person who marks EVERY single one of their emails as "URGENT"/" High Importance" when it clearly isnt. Drives me nuts seeing that damn explanation point lol
If you had to eliminate one person at work, would it be someone who 1) tried to stir up drama all the time and was overly emotional 2) someone who came into work late occasionally or leaves early occasionally (slight slacker) or 3) someone who was too quiet and not very talkative.
I'm #3, and at all the workplaces I've been at, I would be that the coworkers would prefer to have eliminated. Perhaps it's in part because I've had low end jobs, but my coworkers always love to chat, but I am terrible at socialising. Talking socially with my coworkers is like work itself, and one of the hardest tasks at that.
I don't think it's ever good to have someone emotionally unstable at work.

This is a bad one too. Takes up all the manager's time so they can't do their own work and have to delegate, drives him/her nuts so he/she feels grouchy, takes the manager's time they need to spend with other employees, creates a lot of tension, and makes people not want to go to the manager with legitimate questions. Yes put this one on the list.
Why would a quiet person be a problem? Those are usually the people who really think about things, come up with good ideas, and get work done. In my experience, they bother people less than others. I am not sure how the quiet person got onto this list.
Either number 1 or number 3 depending on the company. #1 sucks in generall, but why #3. You don't want a quiet person, non talkative person in a sales position.
