The “gossip hound” came in third with 18.4% of votes followed by the “loud-talker” with 11.8%. Coming in last was the sickly “hypochondriac” with 4.6%.

“Work should be fun and, as this survey makes clear, it’s not fun being surrounded by Eddie Haskells and George Costanzas,” said Shawn Boyer, founder and chief executive officer of SnagAJob.com, in the release. “Either one can hurt your company’s culture and bring down morale.”
