The attention seeker

In every office, there is a toxic employee or employees. This kind of person is considered to be dangerous for the environment since they would constantly try to show off their skills, talents, and performances.

The good-for-nothing employee

These employees are those that landed in the wrong place. Yes, they ae active and all, but they don't achieve much as well. They spend most of their time trying to know what the others are up to.

They are the best kind of distraction one can get for the whole day.

The rebellious one

These employees are rule breakers and do not give a care about work and company ethics. They wear what they want to wear and do what they want to do. They follow their own schedule.

The victims

These employees tend to postpone deadlines and other projects because they have headaches, family emergencies, and other uncontrollable situations. They always are the victims of bad luck. They might be hardworking, but they are just not up for the challenge. The only thing they can do is pass on the burdens to co-employees.
