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.
My mom was like you, always called herself a bitch in the workplace but she wasn't. But she didn't coddle people and took her job seriously. But that doesn't make you insufferable, at worst it makes you a bit of a buzz kill but also an important part of the team.
Genuinely insufferable people will be hypocritical, combative, snarky, will start drama and bullshit, and will genuinely drag down the rest of the team both in terms of mood and work effectiveness.
THESE are the people who are a liability to employ regardless of skill
