13 and 13 (likes and dislikes in co-worker behavior)

ThomasNet has a blog.   Apparently, it’s been running in one fashion or another since 2000.   Of course, back then maybe they didn’t label it as a blog, but that’s really what it is.   There’s a couple of articles that caught my attention recently.

13 types of irritating coworkers

13 Types of coworkers we like

In these articles, David R. Butcher explores the best and worst traits in our coworkers (and ourselves) at work.

His likes and dislikes may seem a bit arbitrary.   He complains about the suck-ups in the first article, but lauds the jokers in his second.   He makes the obvious observations regarding the positive coworker; yet in a sense of irony, he complains about the complainers.   It’s a fairly entertaining read.
