Three in five workers are not satisfied with the attitudes or low intelligence of co-workers while one in four will look for another job if employers do nothing to improve efficiency, a survey has found.
Vital Employee Service Consultancy interviewed 502 workers in May and found that about 60 percent complained about poor work attitudes and tardiness of fellow employees.

Around 40 percent thought their workmates were emotionally unintelligent while just over a third complained of a lack of passion and teamwork.

"The experience of having to work with lazy employees will sometimes compel the talented to leave for other jobs," said consultancy manager Suen Lap-man, adding that incompetent employees not only drive up costs but impede business.

According to the survey, 27.4 percent of respondents said they would quit their posts if management remained blind to their lazy co-workers.

More than 70 percent of workers said they received little or no reward for hard work and got the same treatment as those who somehow managed to look busy without doing anything.
