2. Can you tell me about different jobs that people do either themselves or do in groups?
Sure. As I see it, some jobs are best done alone like creative jobs. As far I know, most designers and artists work alone. I suppose this is because they need time to think and let their creativity flow. It’s said that artistic people are often quite disagreeable so they may not get on well in a team.
On the other hand, many jobs require and depend on group work. Most companies value teamwork these days. For example, if you work in a marketing, it’s almost always necessary to work in a team.
3. Do you think some people don't like each other in the workplace? Why?
Of course. As with any situation in life, there are always personality clashes. Everybody is different and that is both an advantage and a disadvantage in the workplace. I think a big reason for conflict is that people in different positions have different characteristics. As I mentioned, designers are often hard to get along with, but they need to be independent and think outside the box to do their job well. In contrast, accountants, for example, tend to be careful and logical. While being too careful would hinder a designer’s creativity, it is essential for an accountant. Differing personality traits like this are necessary for companies to be efficient but they can cause conflict.
