In my experience, that kind of employee is dependent on good management.
If they can be coached into providing help only where other team members appreciate it, then they can become a highly valuable member of the team.
Or, if they are told simply to stop it by an authority figure, a person with noble intentions will normally respect that. An acceptable but perhaps tense solution.
On the other hand, if they are allowed to annoy and frustrate other team members, then they're probably going to cause increasing amounts of trouble within the team.

- learnstats2 12y agoI think that's partly my point. A manager would hopefully recognise and deal with this situation, considerately, before the word 'asshole' was used. Then, the problem doesn't exist in the first place. If you've reached the stage you describe, you're probably not ever going to play nicely with that team. Sorry.
- iopq 12y agoI personally never have, but I've gotten impatient with people who don't understand what I'm talking about. If you don't understand that I'm trying to help you and I'm getting frustrated and you have to go to the manager and cry, then I wouldn't want to work with you.
