I have worked with many coworkers throughout my time in the professional world, and each of them had different traits that were positive and negative. There are only two coworkers that I have had significant differences with that caused some tension. Each of those employees were not responsible, dedicated, or concerned with anyone else but themselves. This caused the work environment for the entire team to change, as we had to pick up the slack. A good coworker should complete their own work load to the best of their ability, and assist others any time they can. I highly value teamwork and a desire to further the workplace as a whole, which means working cohesively together. This cannot happen when personal problems, workplace drama, and irresponsibility occur. I strive to always be a team-player, however without the necessary positive traits, I find that difficult. If an employee is a motivated and dedicated worker, nothing should get in the way of their job being completed and adding to the group in a positive way.
