From the Problogger ‘How To…’ Group Writing Project<\/a>, Aspiring Spirit defines the fine are of being an unbearable co-worker<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Always show up late for meetings. Make it clear that you were busy and had to “squeeze” a few minutes out of your precious time to attend this meeting. Do not forget to regularly interrupt your co-workers in mid-sentence and disrupt their train of thought. If they try to continue speaking, raise your voice and waive your hands. While sitting in the meeting, whip out your blackberry (or any other communication device that you are carrying; the more the better) and start fiddling with it. For bigger impact, do this while speaking or listening to someone while they’re trying to make a point.<\/p>\n

Do not agree with any of your co-worker’s points. If you have to, just say “we will have to discuss this offline”. If you see that the meeting is too focused or running smoothly, run off on a tangent. Resist every attempt to re-focus the meeting by insisting on the importance of your tangent.<\/p>\n

Schedule as many meetings as you can with total disregard for your co-workers’ time and workload. Make sure to pick the worst time for a meeting, like just before the end of the day. And always make sure that the meeting extends beyond the scheduled time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is why I’m an entrepreneur…<\/p>\n

I might be an Insufferable Bastard, but I will never ever waste your time at work — if only because that would be a waste of mine, too.<\/p>\n

Aspiring Spirit’s article rocks, though. Read the whole thing…
