Working Canadians spend a lot of time with their coworkers. If you do the math, it’s likely you spend more hours on average with them than with your family and loved ones.
Just like family, spending hours a day together (or stuck on endless Zoom calls) can drum up some resentments. Colleagues getting on each other’s nerves is such a common part of office dynamics that have inspired multiple iconic shows and movies (are you on team The Office or Parks & Recreation?).
Now, of course, there’s the added layer of how the COVID-19 pandemic affected people’s professional behaviour. After years of working from home, your coworkers might be returning to the office with a slew of bad habits and new pet peeves for you to discover.
The Globe wants to know about your biggest pet peeves that have emerged since returning to the office for an upcoming story. Does your desk neighbour take all their calls on speakerphone? Does the same guy eat his lunch so loudly that you have to wear headphones? Does the latest hire show up in their PJs every day?
