There is an old saying: It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. The idiom can be applied to every day life. A recent research report indicates that "one bad apple" can quickly spoil the atmosphere of the office. An employee with a negative attitude brings conflict and stress to the workplace. A problem employee usually doesn't do an equal amount of work, is always unhappy and complaining, and bullies others.
有句老話說得好:一個壞蘋果就能把一堆蘋果弄壞。這個熟語可以用在日常生活中。最近的一份研究報告指出，“一個壞蘋果”會很快破壞辦公室的氣氛。消極態度的員工會給工作場所帶來衝突和壓力。一個問題員工通常偷奸耍滑，總是不開心和抱怨，並且欺負別人。
Negative behavior, the researchers found, is much stronger than positive behavior. As such, several positive employees can't change the mood created by one negative teammate. In fact, it often leads to a downward spiral, with more and more employees becoming unhappier and unhappier as time continues. The news comes out of the University of Washington.
