There's the liar, the one who always misses deadlines, the one who inflates their numbers... Who are these employees who undermine company productivity? An amusing infographic has been published on the subject, portraying your colleagues who hinder your progress at work.
Laziness, idleness, lack of time, pure procrastination: the reasons for our delays at work seem obvious. Yet, an infographic produced by Attask, a company specializing in project management solutions, provides a very instructive overview of the profiles of employees who undermine company productivity. Slackers and lazy people? Certainly. But not only. Their little analysis reveals that many of your colleagues delay your projects and sabotage your work, and it classifies them into eight categories of "zombie employees," namely those who spend their time putting obstacles in the way of the organization.

They are close to burnout from working overtime and wander around the open-space, desperately looking for a colleague to whom they could delegate some tasks.
The liars of the open space
The numbers don't lie: 13% of employees use lies to get away with things at work. To conceal their mistakes, to justify their lateness, these dangerous colleagues are in denial and never shy away from a little lie to get out of trouble. No less than 7% of employees also admit to inflating their results to impress their managers. And behind them, it's the colleagues who pick up the pieces.
64% of employees in the dark
Doing the required work seems to be the minimum, but you must still know and master the company's processes. However, it turns out that 64% of employees admit to being unaware of the processes to follow to successfully complete their projects and therefore proceed in their own way. At this rate, it's not surprising that these projects take time to advance...
