Every single role and position in a company has its own responsibility and partsto play. Authoritydoesnot always belong to the CEO or other top executives. For example, everything related to IT would be in IT divisions playground. It is the same for finance, sales, marketing, editorial, and so on.

Too bad, for many reasons, someone would sometimes overstep the authority. If you ever did that, maybe you wantto speed up the process,and you have the skill. But your action could offend those who originallyhavethe responsibility. People simply hate it.

2. The Master Whiner

The last thing your depressed coworker want to hear is your blunt confession about how you hate your own job. If you never pass a day without whining about your less-appreciatedandexcessive workload, your managersucking, or the fact that youre underpaid,you are most likely ruining your coworkers mood every day. A smart way to be a public enemy.

3. The Poor-tasker

Havingyour tasks done on time is very important, especially if they relate closely to other coworkers tasks. But to have it done faster doesnt mean that you can do it with poor quality and carelessness. If you work with this habit, youwillprobably be an additional burden to your coworkers, because they have to do much revision and refinement to pick up your slack.

4. The Outer-spacer

This means youareoften seen busy with things not-related to your job: preoccupied by your gadget,uploadingphotos and videos to social media, online-shopping or online-gaming. Even if you think that habit wont affect your performance (because youre an incredible multi-tasker) but that could backfire.

Your coworkers will assume youarentas professional and this will be a threat if the company carries out the 360 degrees review.

5. The Wanderer

Its easy to feel depressed when youare stuckall dayatyour desk, imprisoned with stacks oftasksaround you. Sometimes you want to back-off, go outside to have some coffee or tea,andmaybe have a chit-chat witha friendin another division. To have your mind refreshed is important, but dont wander too much andbehardly available if coworkers need your hands. If you have to leave your desk for a long while, just let them know and ask them to call/text youin need.

6.TheDirty-joker

A day without laughter is a day wasted,anda good sense of humor is needed to create harmonious relationships. But be careful with with a dirty sense of humour; it could leave people offended and uncomfortable. If you are a man, never blunt your dirty-jokes out in front of the ladies (they might sue you for sexual harrassment!).

7. The Blame Seeker

In everyday office duties, mistakes do happen. If something went wrong on your team, the most elegant and wise way to make it right is to seek for a solution, not a coworker to be the guilt-bearer.

8. The Cliquie

In every social interaction, there are always cliques. We tend to spend most of our time with those were comfortable being with and created a friend circle with. We might not realized that were creating a gap with the outsiderand sometimes feel superior about being a part of a group. This condition would cause you trouble, especially when you started to feel uncomfortable to work with others outside your friend cirlce.
