An interesting article on co-worker types

Hi,

I just wanted to be sure to share the link below because it shows information on working with difficult personality types.

I am afraid that I would probably fall under the "procrastinator" employee...

Looks like an ordeal I went through early this year with a (now former) co-worker was ALL SIX of those! :eek:

I'd like to qualify as a #1, but I'm always too dedicated. They don't have a category for someone that likes to bait stupid people or spread hate and discontent?

Politics, sadly, do seem to play an important role in success in many fields these days :(

One thing I've found of interest (not related to the article)? The concept of team player is one that is possibly the most confusing. Is a team player someone that simply agrees with what everyone else thinks? Is a team player someone that does their job to the best of their ability, without necessarily engaging in "team" activities?

To me, a team player is an employee with common goals with the rest of the workers to get the job at hand done, and contribute towards that goal. The "non-teamers" generally spend most of their days at work complaining about corporate policies and questioning everything that's put before them, instead of getting their jobs done and to meet their deadlines.

JMO ;)
