[lbo-talk] ScienceDaily: Do-Gooders Get Voted Off Island First: People Don't Really Like Unselfish Colleagues, Psychologists Find

[Joseph Catron]

"You know those goody-two-shoes who volunteer for every task and thanklessly
take on the annoying details nobody else wants to deal with?

"That's right: Other people really can't stand them.

"Four separate studies led by a Washington State University social
psychologist have found that unselfish workers who are the first to throw
their hat in the ring are also among those that coworkers most want to, in
effect, vote off the island."
