6. The Loudspeaker
She has email. She has instant messaging. She has a desk phone. She has a cell phone that texts. Yet when she has a question for the boss, who sits on the other side of the room, she doesn’t use any of that technology at her disposal. Hell, she doesn't even use her feet, for that matter.
Instead, she stands up, leans over the wall and shouts across the office in a deafening tone.
It doesn’t matter that you’re on the phone with a customer. She cares not that you’re meeting with another co-worker at your desk. Because she has a question and she wants that answer now, which is more important than having courtesy for everyone else she's disturbing.


5. Old School Yeller
He gets on the phone and you’d swear the person on the other end of the line is deaf. He’s talking so loudly that the person you’re talking with on your own phone thinks he’s suddenly in on a conference call.
It’s distracting. It’s annoying. But, alas, you’re going to hear his conversation whether you want to or not.


4. Talkative
Her modus operandi is to tell you everything about her children’s latest milestones. Yes, we know, kids walk eventually and, yes, your house help made a mess of her undies and dumped it somewhere in the children’s wardrobe. No, I didn't need to see a picture of the undies afterward.
They have no regard for that pile of work you have on your desk or the deadline that looms. They are there to share, and to bother. Always seeking your opinion over things they have already made up their minds on.


3. The Mumbler
. The person who sits at her computer and complains about everything and everybody, except you can’t hear a word she’s saying. You hear the noise, but you can’t quite make it out. It’s just loud enough to annoy. Almost as bad as the Choosen mopol who shouts everything from the mountain top, is the mumble.
She opens an email. Mumble, mumble.
She hangs up the phone. Mumble, mumble.
She looks at a memo. Mumble, mumble.
The worst part is, you never know if she's talking to you (since you're the only one around), so you're constantly following up her mumbles with "I'm sorry, did you say something?"


2. The Scattered Fellow
Everyone can have moments when they’re untidy, but this person has papers stacked so high it looks like the union bank marble house. So high you are expecting the folders is going to collapse on you the next time the boss slams his door.
And you don’t even want to be around when it’s cough and cold season. No amount of hand sanitizer will help the amount of used tissues sitting on the desk and the bits of food and crumbs that live in every crack and crease.


1. The Lazy Boy
He’s right there under your nose, day after day, doing little and getting paid for it. Doesn’t show up on time. Doesn’t take on new projects. And all the while the boss keeps tapping on your shoulder instead of his when there’s something he needs done. The only time he shows a little hop in his step is when it’s time to go home for the day. You don’t want to get in his way at the exit after he has clocked out.

Funny write up.

But you forgot Oga's girlfriend.

The one that everyone knows Oga likes and she has Oga on a leash like a dog. If you offend her, Oga will hear; if you talk anyhow about Oga when she's around, Oga will hear. She does little work but gets promotion and pay rise steadily. Just try to stay on her good side and you're safe.
