Furthermore, while remote work has helped some escape their most irritating colleagues, many of the worst transgressions can be – and often are – committed remotely. According to the survey, 62 per cent of respondents have faced annoying coworkers in the office, but 44 per cent say they were irritated through written communication, 37 per cent by phone and 29 per cent over video.
“My pet peeve is disorganized individuals whose desks are piled high with documents, filthy with drink spillage and food crumbs, and when you ask them to find something it takes forever, or they tell you they’re too busy,” wrote one Globe reader. Though most workers have faced an annoying colleague, few have taken steps to address the problem. According to the survey, one-third simply try to distance themselves, 17 per cent ignore their annoying coworkers and 12 per cent vent to their colleagues. While 41 per cent say they would like to confront their annoying colleague directly, just 17 per cent actually have and another 12 per cent say they’ve reported them to human resources.
