The behaviour that annoys colleagues more than any other


AI Summary Hide AI Generated Summary

Key Findings:

Surveys consistently identify credit-stealing as the most annoying behavior among colleagues. A global Kickresume poll showed 85% of respondents experienced annoying coworkers, highlighting the prevalence of such issues. A Perspectus Global survey of British workers corroborated this finding, placing credit-stealing at the top of the list of irritating behaviors. Further reinforcing this, a BambooHR survey of American workers deemed taking credit for others' ideas the worst managerial trait.

Surveys of office behaviour are not scientific. In a global poll conducted last year by Kickresume, a firm that helps create cvs, 85% of people said they had experienced an annoying co-worker. That means the remaining 15% are either sole traders or liars. But surveys can still reveal truths about what gets people riled up. The Kickresume survey put credit-stealing top of the list of irritating colleague behaviour, as did a survey of British workers in 2022 by Perspectus Global, a research firm. Another recent poll, this time of American workers and conducted by BambooHR, crowned taking credit for employees’ ideas as the worst managerial trait of all.
