The appropriate personnel team may make or ruin a corporation. Despite your best efforts to hire only the finest and brightest, there is always the possibility that you may wind up with an employee who is pulling the rest of the company down. As firms remain hesitant about new recruits, and the unemployment rate remains around 7%, more organisations are electing to provide greater hours to current workers rather to hire new ones, making it even more critical to ensure you have the correct team in place.
Taking away someone’s livelihood is never an easy chore

The Queen of Drama (or King)
An workplace with no gossip is as unusual as an albino alligator. But just because it may be hard to totally eliminate gossip does not imply you have to put up with the worst offenders. A drama queen (of any gender) gossips and spreads rumours while sitting back and waiting for sparks to flare. He often spreads gossip under the pretext of “I simply thought you’d want to know,” when the fact is that you didn’t want to know at all. They just aim to elicit a response and cause an awkward confrontation. This conduct may drive managers insane and divide teams.
The Critic
While there is undoubtedly merit in hearing several points of view on a fresh proposal, The Naysayer only has one point of view, and it is always “No.” This sort of individual does not simply perceive the glass as half empty; he cannot even picture the glass ever being full again. Naysayers have a significant negative influence on morale and make other workers hesitant to contribute innovative ideas because they know they will be shot down.
The letter I in Team
Employees will always have varying degrees of comfort with cooperation. Some of the most talented workers prefer to work alone. However, if an employee is unable to work well with a team, regardless of the circumstances, it may be time to let her go.
Collision of Cultures
Every firm has its own culture, whether they work hard to nurture it or it organically forms around the initial staff. When an employee does not fit in, no matter how hard he tries or how competent he is at his work, it may create serious issues. If you want to flourish as a team, everyone of your workers should “drink the Kool-Aid
Please excuse me.
It is simple to understand how unproductive personnel who are unable to complete tasks on time belong on this list. What’s worse than a constantly late or unproductive employee is one who always has an excuse. Even the best justification is still an excuse. When you can trust an employee to come up with an excuse faster than you can trust her to complete her work, you have a problem that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
Unmovable Beast
The present corporate environment evolves quicker than our forefathers could have imagined. Except for bankers, the days of 9 to 5 are over, and every time you turn around, there is a new technology that can help – or hinder – your business. Employees must grasp how quickly things change and be prepared to turn on a dime. The rigid employee who is fixed in his ways is a liability. It’s one thing to observe the rules; it’s quite another to be hesitant to look beyond them.
The Complainant
Simply stated, some individuals believe that they are not only entitled to their employment, but also to not have to perform any work at all. These employees are always looking for a way to complain about something. It makes no difference whether or not they do their job. An climate of complaint, in which the boss and job are seen as shared enemies, is not conducive to a pleasant or productive workplace. Complainers are not welcome in a productive workplace.
Every workplace is unique, and it is critical to have a diverse staff. However, toxic workers might make everyone’s job more difficult while providing very little. Firing individuals is difficult, but allowing them to pull your company down will be even more difficult.
