KUSA - One thing you don't have to worry about when you work from home: co-workers.

Especially if those coworkers are total slackers and leave you feeling like you're doing all the work. If that sounds like you, you're not alone.

Research from the author of the book called "crucial Confrontations" finds that 93 percent of employees work with people who don't pull their weight. But only 1 in 10 confronts their underperforming co-workers.

The study shows that workplace slackers are being let off the hook, leading to burnout and resentment for hard-working employees who take on more.
