Which Zodiac Signs Are Most Likely to Be Excluded at Work?

The term "workplace underdog" describes people who often feel slighted, discriminated against, or overlooked at work. They’re in real pain and want change, yet somehow remain stuck at the bottom of the corporate ladder. As a result, some start voicing their frustrations—complaining day after day—without finding better ways to turn their situation around.

Others get used to keeping a low profile, enduring in silence and telling themselves it’s no big deal... But staying invisible at work for too long can take a toll on your emotions. For all the horoscope fans out there, are you curious whether your sign made the workplace underdog list?

Take a look! We’ve also included advice to help workplace underdogs break free from their unlucky streak.

(Please refer to your Sun and Rising signs)

First Place: Pisces

Kindhearted and bad at saying no, Pisces often become the go-to “nice person” at work. When coworkers come up with all kinds of reasons to ask for help, Pisces usually put on a friendly face—even when an inner voice is saying, “Say no; you’ve got your own tasks to finish.” Their timid side often wins out, and they feel too embarrassed to refuse, so they reluctantly agree.

As a result, constantly doing favors eats into their own responsibilities and drags down productivity—especially since Pisces can struggle with a sense of urgency. Managers may see them as “busy all day but not sure what they’re actually doing,” and start to doubt their capabilities, leaving Pisces feeling unfairly judged.

Advice: When people get used to handing you their work, learn to say “no” gracefully—start small, be tactful, and stick with it.

Second Place: Taurus

Taurus is the consummate workhorse—practical, steady, and diligent, often putting in extra hours. They’re serious and meticulous, rarely making mistakes, yet they seldom get recognized. The boss doesn’t criticize them much, but doesn’t praise them either. Why? While Taurus excels at hard work, their introverted, reserved nature means they often neglect communication and miss chances to show their value to leadership.

So you’ll often see a hardworking Taurus taking on all the tough, thankless tasks without complaint, yet struggling to get a raise; promotions feel out of reach. They end up feeling like anyone can push them around and dump their frustrations on them—an unfair situation that leaves Taurus quite discouraged.

Advice: Hard work alone isn’t enough. Knowing when and how to showcase yourself appropriately is key to moving your career forward.

Third Place: Cancer

Naturally sensitive and anxious, Cancers dislike friction and often shy away from communication, making them easily swayed by their environment. When they feel ignored or hear harsh words from coworkers or managers, they can quickly get upset, and a surge of negative emotion makes others keep their distance.

Meanwhile, Cancers wonder why, despite feeling wronged, people seem to avoid them—only adding to their confusion. This can trap them in negativity and make it hard to objectively assess what’s happening and why they feel aggrieved. Remember: acting on emotion in the workplace can backfire.

Advice: Even when you hit bumps at work, resist the urge to complain excessively—it will only backfire. Keep reminding yourself to stay positive and make managing negative emotions a priority.

Fourth Place: Scorpio

Serious and a bit mysterious, Scorpios aren’t the type to proactively mingle at work. They’re quiet, dislike flattery, and can seem indifferent to people who clash with them—and they definitely won’t butter up the boss.

Determined and hardworking, Scorpios tend to rely heavily on themselves, which can limit collaboration. As a result, even when they score a win, few coworkers offer congratulations. The reserved Scorpio often feels overlooked in a group and puzzled by the lack of recognition.

Advice: Open up and communicate more with coworkers to soften a too-serious image and build rapport.

Fifth Place: Libra

With Libra’s standout social skills and natural charm, how did they end up on the underdog list? Because their ultra-smooth interactions make them born peacemakers who avoid conflict and aim to be kind. They often go out of their way to please others—not to curry favor, but to show genuine goodwill.

The downside? Being overly diplomatic can make coworkers question their sincerity. Some may see Libra as two-faced or insincere and decide they’re not worth the trouble—leading to social distance and an underdog reputation.

Advice: Recognizing and breaking the people-pleasing habit is essential if Libra wants to shed the workplace underdog label.
