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.
有句老话说得好:一个坏苹果就能把一堆苹果弄坏。这个熟语可以用在日常生活中。最近的一份研究报告指出，“一个坏苹果”会很快破坏办公室的气氛。消极态度的员工会给工作场所带来冲突和压力。一个问题员工通常偷奸耍滑，总是不开心和抱怨，并且欺负别人。
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.
