Do you love your coworkers...or can you not stand them?! And why? Could your coworkers get you to quit your job/meaning.... if you disliked the people you had to work with enough....could that have you looking for employment elsewhere? And vice versa...if the people were GREAT and you liked them a lot....would that make you want to keep your job.....even if a similar job had higher pay...but crappy people? Thanks for your input!

My current job is fine; I neither love them nor hate them, but I think we get along and that's great.
Where I used to work, there was this girl who was completely annoying. I would go home crying because I could not stand her. She never, ever did any work; I got stuck doing her job so many times. She would constantly talk on the phone - not work related - and if I walked past her and she wasn't on the phone, she would engage me in conversation. My heart started racing when I had to go near her desk (which was all the time - it was by the bathroom, the copy machine, and the stairs) because I knew she would start talking to me. She would eavesdrop on my conversations, even though my desk was down the hall, and then yell down the hall to ask me about the conversation I just had. I talked to my boss - it didn't do any good. I tried ignoring her - that didn't work. I actually pondered finding a new job because it was such a distraction.
When she told me she was leaving, I had never been so happy in my life. But the anxiety continued for a while; I would become upset when I had to walk that direction, even though her successor was so much better and didn't have to talk to me every time I walked past.
I no longer work for the same company, but I did love (most of) my coworkers. I get paid higher and as I said before, I neither love nor hate my coworkers. They're completely bearable, and I like them, but it's not as fun as where I used to work (minus the awful coworker). I think if I interviewed where she works now, I would not accept no matter how much they paid me because she caused me some serious stress and anxiety issues.
I know there are bad apples everywhere, but I have a hard time picturing someone as bad as her!

I dislike all of them. Every single one. The reason i hate them is probably 'cos i hate my job (I'm doing a part time job whilst im in college so im really not into it) and i link my job with those who work there and i guess that's why i dislike them. oh, and the old women i work with get too touchy. that annoys me too
hope I've helped :)
