Most employees strive to be well-liked by their co-workers, as working in harmony with everyone results to better productivity and a great office environment. However, couldn’t care less about getting along with others, and this is why they have become the most hated people in the workplace.
If you want a change of pace and want to take a few cues from these people, here are some tips on how to be the most hated person in the office.
Don’t do anything.
Don’t do anything, literally. There’s always that one employee who seems to do nothing all day, and can be seen wandering around the office or trying to look busy at his desk. Book a conference room and sit for hours in it doing nothing, and maybe take a nap while you’re at it.
Talk loudly on your phone
Turn the volume on your smartphone to the maximum level so that everyone knows that you’re getting a call. Talk loudly and expressively, and make sure to make a few obnoxious comments during your phone conversation.
Spray perfume in your open office space
You love your new perfume, and you’re sure that others will love it too, right? So go ahead and spray yourself with your new scent in the office. Make sure to do it several times a day. Go ahead and use it in the elevator too.
Buy a Secret Santa gift way below the agreed dollar amount
Everyone agreed on spending $50 for the Secret Santa gift, but no way are you doing that. Besides, your Secret Santa buddy has been mean to you the whole year, so if you get her a keychain, a plastic ballpoint pen, and a pad of sticky notes as a present, you figure that’s a good gift for her for everything that she has done.
Show off your new relationship
Display pictures of your new boyfriend or girlfriend on your desk. Talk about your significant other incessantly. Make sure that everyone is within earshot when you engage in mushy phone conversations with your loved one. Squeal loudly whenever your new man sends you roses, chocolates, or a 5-foot bear to your office and make sure that everyone knows about it.
