According to a recent Monster.com survey, there's a 50 percent chance that your coworkers think you've got bad manners. We asked site visitors to rate their colleagues' manners (at their current or most recent job), and 26 percent answered, "Downright rude!" while another 24 percent answered, "Plenty of room for improvement." Only 7 percent said their coworkers were "very polite." Here are the complete results of the survey.
That's a lot of rude behavior! But how can you improve your manners? In a separate poll, we asked people which impolite behaviors ticked them off the most. And the behaviors that bothered people the most were:
> Coworkers who gossip: 35%
> Coworkers who don't clean up after themselves: 25%
> Coworkers who are too loud: 14%
> Coworkers who text or email when they're in meetings: 10%
> Other / none of the above: 16%
