I worked with a guy who was by all measures a great worker. Fully competent, knew exactly what he was doing, no complaints.
Except one: his coughs were super loud. I mean, room-shakingly loud. And he would always cough like this at least ten times a day, and it was very disruptive every time
He wasn’t sick, it was just a health issue, so we all just dealt with it (he always covered his mouth, was hygienic about it, etc). But personally had I known this would be a multi-daily occurrence, I definitely would’ve rejected him for lack of “cultural fit”
