Are You Guilty of One of These 13 Deadly Office Sins?
Whether you're the backstabber or the kitchen slob, it's time to come clean.

Here’s one of the hard truths of the new year: Just because you’re attempting to better yourself doesn’t mean other people are, especially your co-workers. Whether you’re dealing with the kitchen slob, the email overloader, or the TMI sharer, there’s bound to be someone stirring up trouble in the office.

The good news? Even though you can’t change everyone else’s behavior, you can definitely change your own. If you think any of these types of co-workers sound a little too much like you, the new year is the perfect time to change your outlook.
