Do you like talkative or quiet coworkers? Where I work is pretty quiet, I wish there was a bit more chatter, help the day go by more quickly. But I'm naturally quiet so I'm part of the problem.

I like coworkers who are sociable but know when it’s time to put our heads down and work. I’m finding that to be something of a rare trait.

I like having coworkers who are talkative but it’s been a double edged sword since RTO. Most of my work gets done at home or when a lot of people are in meetings.

I like chatty coworkers. I'm too shy to initiate conversations, but when spoken to, we can chat up a storm and neither of us get stuff done in the end.

So. I need a chatty colleague to be the Kickstart 🥲

I tend to be talkative myself, but I like a blend. Know when it is good to take a chat break and know when it is time to get work done.

I prefer a quite environment and would rather listen to music while I "work".
