You have to handle plenty of serious employee gripes about benefits and harassment. But as shown by a new CareerBuilder survey of 2,600 HR pros and hiring managers, you also have had to deal with some truly offbeat complaints. Some highlights include employees’ gripes that a co-worker:
- Has big hair
- Eats all the good cookies
- Is so polite, it’s infuriating
- Is trying to poison me
- Has a ‘magnetic body’ and keeps de-activating his magnetic access card
- Only wears slippers or socks at work
- Has an ‘aura that’s all wrong’
- Breathes too loudly
- Wants to check a co-worker for ticks
- Wore bells on her shoes and it’s not the holidays
- Reminded him too much of Bambi
- Spent too much time caring for stray cats around the building
- (Male co-worker) keeps using the ladies’ room because the men’s room is not as tidy.
