There’s a popular saying that goes, "I’m not afraid of opponents as powerful as gods, but I am afraid of teammates as useless as pigs." This isn’t just applicable in online games, but also in the cutthroat world of work. In games, the worst thing is having a tank that’s not strong enough, a healer who can’t keep up, or a DDS with too low damage output. But even worse is having a teammate with no sense of teamwork or camaraderie—the so-called "pig teammates." Are you curious about the zodiac signs of these pig teammates you might have around you? Don’t miss out on the professional analysis by Aiwei.
Let me tell you, from my own experience, this kind of saying hits close to home. Once, in a team project, I had a Virgo teammate who, when we encountered a problem at work, had a tendency to throw me under the bus. I remember during a meeting when I was already in hot water with the boss, this Virgo just had to add fuel to the fire. It was like they were taking potshots at me while I was already down. I tell you, it was not a pretty sight.
Now, let’s talk about those teammates who are clueless and brainless. If you’re someone who’s meticulous and organized, working with these types can drive you up the wall. These star signs often have the kind of innocent, childlike eyes that make you want to both laugh and cry when they do something incredibly foolish and scary, and it’s usually not even on purpose. You’d be left too exhausted to even scold them. Maybe they’ll send a document to the wrong address, forget to save important files before a meeting with a key client, or book a flight for the wrong time or flight number. You’re constantly on edge, having to keep an eye on your clueless teammates to prevent any disaster from happening. and are notorious for their forgetfulness and clumsiness, while often oversimplify things, leading to mistakes. The damage isn’t severe, but it happens so frequently.
I once had a experience with an Aries colleague who forgot to bring the presentation materials to a crucial client meeting. We ended up having to wing the whole thing, and let me tell you, it was a hot mess.
Then there are those teammates who have an overinflated sense of self-worth. They’re the ones who charge into danger headfirst, even after you’ve explained to them how unfeasible their plans are. They’re so convinced of their own brilliance that they can’t take in any other opinions or warnings. You might think you’ve given them some solid advice, but to them, it’s just a sign of a lack of ambition or courage. When their plans inevitably fail, even if you’ve warned them beforehand, it falls on deaf ears. Leo and Pisces are the types who, once they’ve made up their minds, are impossible to change. might reconsider if you present enough evidence, but don’t expect them to give up easily.
Lastly, there are those teammates who always seem to be on the outside looking in. They’re the ones who can easily wash their hands of any responsibility, leaving you to carry the load. They do just enough to get by, with a weak sense of teamwork. But when they need something, they’re all over you. are the worst at this, especially with people they know well. and are masters at passing the buck, making you feel like you’ve been stabbed in the back. It’s a 100% internal injury index!
These experiences are the ones that make you wish for a team where everyone has each other’s backs, instead of being surrounded by pig teammates. But hey, that’s life, right? You just have to learn to deal with them and hope that one day, you’ll find a team where everyone is on the same page.
