In the workplace, we meet different colleagues. Some people can be our friends, while others need us to keep our distance. The following are the types of colleagues I think need to stay away from:

1. Complaining colleagues

Complaining colleagues always complain about unfair work, unfair superiors, unfair companies, etc. They are full of negative emotions about their work and cannot inject positive energy into the team. This kind of colleague will make you feel depressed, lose your enthusiasm for work and affect your work efficiency.

suggestion: keep a distance from complaining colleagues and avoid interacting with them as much as possible. If they talk to you, they can listen properly, but don't join the complaining.

2. explosive colleagues

explosive colleagues refer to those who are emotionally unstable and easily lose their temper. They may be furious when they encounter some minor problems at work, which will bring great psychological burden to people around them and even affect their work efficiency.

suggestion: try to avoid conflicts with explosive colleagues, stay calm and don't join their mood swings. If their behavior has a serious impact on your work, you can reflect it with your superiors.

3. selfish colleagues

selfish colleagues always put their own interests first and are unwilling to contribute to the team. They often rob, blame and use others, which not only fails to gain the trust of colleagues, but also affects the cohesion of the whole team.

suggestion: avoid in-depth cooperation with selfish colleagues, don't trust them easily, and be vigilant. If you work with them, you should always pay attention to prevent possible conflicts of interest.

4. Lazy colleagues

Lazy colleagues often procrastinate, be lazy and shirk their responsibilities, which brings a lot of trouble to the team. They are unwilling to work hard and accept help from others, which has a negative impact on the team's cooperative spirit.

suggestion: keep a distance from lazy colleagues and try to avoid in-depth cooperation. If you have to deal with them, you should always pay attention to monitoring their work progress to ensure the smooth development of the work.

5. Rumor colleagues

Rumor colleagues are always gossiping and spreading rumors, and like to create and spread negative news, which easily leads to contradictions and distrust among colleagues. Their behavior will destroy the cooperative atmosphere of the team and affect the work efficiency.

suggestion: don't listen to the rumors of colleagues, and don't participate in their gossip and rumors. If you are troubled by rumors, you should report to your superiors in time.

In short, in the workplace, we need to avoid interacting with colleagues who are complaining, explosive, selfish, lazy, and rumored. These colleagues will have a negative impact on our work and mentality, and affect the cohesion and cooperation efficiency of the team. We should keep a distance from these colleagues and try to avoid in-depth cooperation with them in order to maintain a balanced mentality and work efficiently.
