Every workplace has that one person who stands out — and not necessarily in a good way. This coworker comes to work late with coffee in hand, predictably yells when you need it most, and stirs up trouble in the drama department.
While you may enjoy their chaotic energy—they might even become your best friends at work—you have to admit that you simply can't rely on them. When you start thinking about who that might be, you might immediately think of a few zodiac signs.
Astrologer and spiritual counselor Wang Letao said a person's work ethic is often affected by a combination of planetary alignment and elemental characteristics. For example, fire signs thrive on spontaneity and action, which means they are full of interesting ideas but also unpredictable.
Air signs may be the best at communicating and bringing energy to work, but they will also 100% forget to email you back. Then there are water signs, who are caring and intuitive as colleagues, but they are also the worst at meeting deadlines. (Earth signs get away with it this time because they are so diligent.)
While the "worst" coworkers often make your job more fun—they're always there to remember your birthday, chat with you in the break room, and remind you that nothing is that serious—they're also not The one you want. Team up for a group project or a particularly busy shift.
That said, the following three zodiac signs make the worst people to work with, according to astrologers.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
If there's anyone who's going to distract you at work with endless chatter, it's a Gemini. According to Wang, this air sign is the social butterfly of the zodiac. While they can brighten any room with interesting conversation, they can also ruin productivity with their endless mischief.
Wang said small talk might be fun for a few minutes, but it's not a sign you want to see in the cubicle next to you, especially in a focused work environment. "Coupled with their dual nature, you may find yourself often providing cover for them when they decide to abdicate responsibility."
Geminis are very creative and they always have something interesting to say. They are also confident enough to advocate for you if something goes wrong at work, such as if you get into trouble with your manager. But when things really need to get done, especially if you rely on teamwork, you may have to find a trustworthy Taurus or hard-working Virgo.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Good luck finding a Sagittarius in the office, because they definitely won't be sitting at a desk, in the break room, or on Zoom. Wang says this fire sign is characterized by their boundless energy and enthusiasm, which makes them completely unpredictable as colleagues.
Sagittarius is essentially the chaotic little brother of the zodiac. Since they don't like to sit still, they'll always try to avoid repetitive but necessary tasks, whether it's answering emails, filing documents, or setting the table before the dinner rush.
This sign also loves to stir things up. Even if they aren't initially involved, they quickly become embroiled in drama. They're also always on the verge of getting fired because they're often late and blurt out what's on their mind - which means you should think twice before becoming their best friend at work.
In other words, Sagittarius is the perfect personality hirer. Their sparkling, bubbly personalities alone are worth their weight in gold. Their optimism and positive attitude are contagious, Wang said. Once they are willing to focus, you will find that they are also full of good ideas.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
If your coworker is a Pisces, be prepared to cover almost all of their shifts. "People of this water sign may show up late or shout louder than their peers for reasons ranging from migraines to mysterious illnesses," says Wang. Because Pisces can easily get overwhelmed by life, it doesn't take much for them to need a little extra rest and rest.
When Pisces go to work, they tend to move slower than others. Wang said they have a lazy work mentality and often miss deadlines or do only the bare minimum, leaving others to pick up the slack.
As a dreamy sign, communicating with Pisces can also be incredibly frustrating because they often don't seem to be listening. However, they do make up for it by being the most creative people on their staff. Their body clock may not be ideal for a 9-to-5 schedule, but they can definitely do a great job.
