Irritating Co-Workers
I’m sure anyone who has worked in an office setting has dealt with a co-worker (or two) getting on their last nerve. Well, here’s your opportunity to vent. What’s on your list of “Office Pet Peeves”? I’ll get the ball rolling- my annoyances include open windows, people who are all up in your computer screen, must (as in you smell like you’ve never heard of deoderant), invasion of personal space, and nasty kitchen/common areas.
According to the “Office Pet Peeve” survey conducted by temporary staffing firm Randstad USA, condescending tones lead the list of biggest office annoyances at 44 percent. Public reprimand, micromanagement, loud talkers and cell phone ringing completed the top five. The cell phone situation is also one I will add to my list. If you’re guilty of forgetting to leave your signature ring tone off at the office, you’re not just annoying your co-workers, you may be sending the wrong message to your boss by your ringtone choice and inviting neighboring cube dwellers to eavesdrop.
Stephen Viscusi, author of “On the Job: How to Make It in the Real World of Work,” and contributing workplace guru for ABC’s “Good Morning America,” advises handling most office annoyances head-on, by confronting the person and the situation.
“Annoying co-workers sometimes feel as if they can get away with more because they are in the workplace and they feel the workplace gives them amnesty,” Viscusi says.
That’s pretty ignorant to think you don’t have to treat co-workers with respect just because you think you can get away with it. Then again, if you are being an irritating co-worker on purpose, then you really are being ignorant. Not a good look.
