Heathfield, your Guide to Human Resources Vol. 12 No. 124 - ISSN: 1533-3698 September 17, 2011 Dear People: Do you have pet peeves about your boss and coworkers? If you do, the good news is that you're normal. Even sane and likeable people have habits and behaviors that can drive their coworkers crazy. People miss work; they miss deadlines. Some people are perpetually late for meetings.
