My best and worst colleagues were at the same company.

Best colleague: Knew how to time manage. Knew what was priority and what wasn’t. She also knew half her job was managing her boss’s expectation. She was never late for any work because she knew how to manage up.

Worst colleague: A programmer that played more political games and sucked up to the boss than work. I mentioned his code was not up to par multiple times. The boss ignored me because the other colleague loved sucking up to him. He kept on talking behind my back. After I left, they couldn’t launch a product for 1 full year. Turns out I was the only one lifting the entire team.
