Burning Question: What are the worst types of co-workers?

The trials of working with slackers, complainers and even stars.

Over at GovLoop, founder and head honcho Steve Ressler is weighing in (registration required) on the subject of the worst types of people to work with.

"A bad co-worker," he writes, "can make your life painful, make you dread work, and can derail your career."

We won't reveal all of the details of Ressler's list, but will just say that he divides crummy co-workers into five categories:

  • Slacker
  • Star
  • Inviter
  • Complainer
  • Full of Smoke
