Have you ever Complained to your Boss about a Co-Worker?

Working can be a lot of fun if you make friends at your workplace. But the same work can be dreadful if there are some coworkers you hate. Wherever we go in our lives, we shall come across two types of people, one who are light-hearted and the others who are a pain. Good colleagues are those who enjoy working and who make others work enjoyable. They will help you in every task where you find yourself helpless. A good colleague will talk to you when you feel upset about something. They will encourage you to work harder and grab all the opportunities that come in your way. They become your moral support at the workplace.

On the other hand, there are not so good colleagues. These people fill your surroundings with negativity, and they find some or the other reason to argue with you. The moment you see them, you feel that your whole day is going to get ruined. Such people are rude, and they create problems for other people. You feel de-motivated because you do not want to work when they are around. You cannot participate in any project with them because of which you lose great opportunities.
