It’s Monday and time to go back to work. Which wouldn’t be so difficult for some if their coworkers would act like grown ups and just do their job.
BUT, we all have a person or two that we work with who acts like a child.
We would like to think that in the business world folks would act like their age, but nah. Because according CareerBuilder, 77% of us have seen a coworker do something childish at work.
For instance, one time I made coffee and this bozo who used to work with us dumped it out. That’s what I was told. Why did he do it? Because he is a turd. That’s why.
1. Whining, 55%.
2. Pouting because something didn’t go their way, 46%.
3. Tattling on another coworker, 44%.
4. Playing a prank on another coworker, 36%.
5. Making a face behind someone’s back, 35%.
6. Forming a clique, 32%.
7. Starting a rumor about a coworker, 30%.
8. Storming out of the room, 29%.
9. Throwing a temper tantrum, 27%.
10. Refusing to share with other people, 23%
This seems pretty legit to me. The question is, how do you deal with it? Do you ignore it? Or do you let them know they are being ridiculous?
