7 Types of toxic people at work
Toxic behavior can manifest differently: someone criticizes everyone, demands too much, and constantly complains. Toxic people can be conditionally divided into seven types:
1️⃣ Sabotage Man
🆘 Constantly dissatisfied with something: tasks, clients, salary, management, and colleagues. He criticizes all ideas without even analyzing anything, and the rules are not written for him. Everything he says about his place of work is a complete negative.
2️⃣ Victim
❌ It seems to such people that they are underestimated, treated rudely, and in general, everyone around them is unfair. Victims constantly complain about their health and excuses for personal inefficiency.
3️⃣ Gossip
🆘 Gossip and intrigue are their habitats. They know all the news, and those who do not know will come up with themselves. Gossipers love to provoke conflicts, deceive and manipulate.
4️⃣ Miniboss
❌ Constantly climbs into other people's business with unnecessary advice - after all, he knows better what is right. He creates around himself the image of the most essential and valuable employee in the company, although this is not so. Usually, these are the people who have been with the company the longest, who have stopped growing professionally but still think that they are more important than the rest.
5️⃣ Critic
🆘 Typically, such employees are too demanding of colleagues. They downplay the merits of others and often complain to management about teammates. They constantly correct everyone and give feedback even when no one asks.
6️⃣ Lazy
❌ He constantly dodges tasks, does not turn in work before the deadline, does personal business in the office, or sits out his pants. More intelligent lazy people have learned to delegate their tasks to others. It creates the appearance that they work, although they are useless.
7️⃣ Aggressor
🆘 Some express hostility in a passive-aggressive way: implicit insults, manipulation, resentment. And some are direct insults, raising their voices and making colleagues feel down.
