A survey used a popular television show to display some of the most hated and favored coworker types, eDaliy News said Sunday.
Conducted by an online employment portal Incruit, the survey matched real life coworkers to characters from MBC’s Infinity Challenge.
Some 1,027 workers participated in the survey, which asked who are the “bosses and juniors I hate to work with.”
The most selected type of boss, with a majority of 47.6 percent, was Park Myeong-su. He was portrayed to burden his juniors by irresponsibly handing them down his own workload.
Second most selection was the Yoo jae-suk-type, who works so hard he makes others feel guilty.
As to juniors pulling chain, the top selection with 38.5 percent was the Noh Hong-cheol-type, a weasel who always leaves rooms to escape. He was followed by the HaHa-type, who is simply inept with taking down his tasks.
The survey showed that 89.2 percent of the respondents see the type of bosses they don’t enjoy working with, while 46.1 percent were coping with juniors they don’t care for.
