This article from the Wall Street Journal talks about the common complaint of a poor work environment and how it can surprisingly be beneficial. The article starts out by naming the classic problems of the workplace that everyone can relate to: the narcissists, the passive aggressives, the gossipers, and the workaholics. Everyone has the same problem that they love their job but they hate their coworkers. The article continues though to state that each of these personalities actually does have a benefit to the workplace by providing evidence through research done in previous years. The article then concludes with the statement that by realizing that you could be a disruptor yourself, you become a better worker as well as worker. This article's purpose is to inform about the positive effects of having a diverse personality workplace. The intended audience is those who work which is the majority of the adult population. This article first uses an allusion the the television show The Office which allows an easy understanding of the point the article is trying to make. Then the article uses a series of deductive reasoning. The author points out a common stereotype office worker and then refutes the reasoning of no benefit with data from conducted studies. Overall this was an interesting and informative article to read.
