Whilst they are happy to air their views to the team, they struggle to integrate and collaborate.

They are often late to the office, or try to slip out early. Furthermore, they often have a higher than average rate of absenteeism.

6.) They don’t buy into company culture

Everyone seems to be moving in one direction, and they are doing their best to move in another.

7.) They leave diplomacy at the door

They have no problem acting undiplomatically and potentially causing unnecessary and unhelpful conflict.

8.) They will never go the extra mile

It is as if they know their job description off by heart, and they will never go above and beyond.

9.)They treat the office like a playground

They talk about colleagues behind their back, spread rumours, and even worse bully or harass those around them.

They have no time or interest in following rules and may even intentionally be non-compliant.
