15 Coworker Types You Unfortunately Find In Every Office

Every work place is different, but almost every one has at least one of these employees. Do these sound like any of your coworkers?

The type who gets to work way earlier than necessary.

You stroll in at 9 a.m. and your coworker has been there since 6 a.m. Like, why?!

The type who laughs way too loud at everything in the office.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but sometimes the laughing can be a little much.

The type who HAS to show you their kid’s artwork.

No offense, but it’s all scribbles.

The type who works in another department and you always run into but never talk to.

It’s an unspoken code of awkwardness.

The type who never refills the coffeemaker. 

Rule  No. 1 of being a good coworker: Never mess with the caffeine supply. 

The type where every conversation you have with them is about the weather.

We all have those coworkers with whom (no matter how hard you try) you never have a more meaningful conversation than idle elevator chit-chat.

The type who always wears headphones.

Just put up a DO NOT DISTURB sign while you’re at it.

The type who likes to be a know-it-all.

And makes you feel like you’re in high school again.

The type who always seems to know the office gossip.

Every office has that one person who seems to always be in the know about the juicy stuff that’s going down.

The type who never misses a chance to complain about something.

Yep, it’s called “work.” Sometimes you have to do stuff you don’t want to do.

The type who sends way too many emails.

An empty inbox is a happy inbox.

The type who has no filter whatsoever.

You might share a workspace and be somewhat close friends, but no one really needs to know about your family drama while eating their lunch.

The type you always run into while going to the bathroom.

We all have that coworker who must be weirdly in sync with your bodily functions.

The type who eats their smelly lunch right at their desk.

Please eat your leftover smelly fish outside of this vicinity, thank you.

The type who spends way too much time thinking about their coworkers instead of actually working.

A.k.a. all of us.
