I hate to work with leaders / managers who are :
- disorganised and constantly miss appointments and deadlines;
- bo chup, can't do their work, and spend most of their time doing PR with the decision-makers to cement their position; and
- those who listen to the opinions / complaints / gossip of one party only, and don't bother to clarify issues before taking action against the perceived 'guilty' one.
I hate to work with colleagues who :
- just graduated with virtually zero experience and yet who talk the loudest and worse, are bossy, obnoxious and arrogant little 'know-it-all's;
- talk / PR more than they work;
- are political and scheming people.

Freeloaders who put in little effort but have an equal share of the credit.
Virtually every project group I've ever worked in (with the exception of my 3rd yr industrial design group) had at least one freeloader. Bloody parasites.
Whilst in nursing school, I tolerated a freeloader for an entire year, but by the start of the 2nd year, we all have had enough, but no one in my group wanted to be the bad guy, so I did.
We sat down, told her what was distressing us
about her non-performance, and told her that since everyone was
sacrificing a lot of time to get the A's we got, it's only natural
that she work hard too. A few more chances, she didn't keep
up with performance expectations, I lost my patience, told her
sorry, but it's unacceptable to the rest of us in the group, and
off she went. Of course, she cried buckets and I felt like the greatest b!tch on earth then, but the rest of us did sacrifice a lot of our own personal time to get those results and she was just happily reaping the fruits of our labour! I'd rather be a b!tch than an idiot.
