Gossiping or engaging in office politics also are pet peeves, cited by 23% of respondents. Other annoying behaviors cited include missing deadlines (18%), being perpetually late (12%), and presenting other’s ideas as one’s own (5%).
“Having to constantly double-check someone else’s work is a sure recipe for tension between coworkers,” said Max Messmer, chairman of Accountemps, in a press release. “The success of any team depends on everyone carrying his or her weight.”
