I don’t know if you necessarily want to give a vibe “don’t f with me”. People don’t usually like coworkers with that attitude. Confidence is important in all aspects of life but I believe we can still be kind and loving at work

I think it’s important to help each other at work. We do all the time but I think it’s important to examine why. If we help because it’s for the common good and benefits everyone and it’s give and take responsibility or because we are in a mentorship role etc then it’s all good. If we help others because we don’t know how to say “no” or we want to be liked and are people pleasers then it’s a problem.

In my experience certain type of people are disliked and are considered problematic in work environment.

Complainers (we have one who threatened to file grievances at least once weekly and was in the office with complains weekly, it was always something).

Bad team players (wouldn’t consult with a team and wouldn’t cooperate and wouldn’t care about team spirit, undermined others and only cared about how they come across) .

Lazy and unwilling to learn (always ask 1000 questions because they aren’t willing to learn and just want others to answer and do their job, they also never go above and beyond).

The ones that don’t accept responsibility (don’t take criticism and nothing is ever their fault).

Drama queens or kings (create or perpetuate drama)
