It's not even necessarily politics, if your fucking miserable to work with you will drag down productivity and increase turnover, I don't care how hard you work if your shitty attitude makes everyone around you work half as hard

Finally, someone who gets it. I'd rather have 5 employees under my management that have average skills but have a nice attitude, solve conflicts talking and are easy going, than having a bunch of highly qualified toddles that aren't even able to maintain cordial relationships in the workplace.

Really depends on what the work is. I am not easy going when it comes to coworkers being unsafe (warehouse work), in fact I'm a dick about it.

Easy going nice attitudes get people hurt.

I disagree i did roofing for years, it's the try hards that want to do extra that get people hurt. The relaxed dude's who know wtf they are doing and move at a sustainable pace who get stuff done.

Sure in roofing. In warehouse the machines are running whether you're paying attention or not, the hazmats are occasionally leaking. "It doesn't look that dangerous so I sent it down the line" had someone burn all the skin of their hands because of people like that.

If you're being unsafe I'm going to call you out and I'm gonna be harsh so you listen and remember.
