At my work, the bad apple is actually named Joe. Joe just doesn't flat out know how to communicate with people. He's brusque and most of the time, just downright rude. He's condescending and often wrong. He is nosy too. Always giving advice and telling people whats what with their problems. The worst part is that everybody just tolerates his crap when they need to. Otherwise, they just avoid him and try to work with him as little as possible.
And just like this article points out, the people in my department blame the leadership because they don't do anything about. We complain when he gets out of hand and he has been talked to about his attitude, but the cycle simply repeats itself.
I don't know why we keep him around. We can do A LOT better.
