It seems to be the case now, due to a frighteningly uncertain economy and vacillating small business, we all need to be grateful for our jobs. That said, it can be mighty strenuous to keep a confident outlook when your co-workers are as exasperating as the list included here. Do you work with anyone like these people? Do you wish you didn't?
Announcements show up frequently on each open spot of your cubicle reiterating the rules. You need to take a careful look around before even thinking about disobeying protocol. Your supervisors seem to be cognizant of your every move. An error of miniscule proportions leads to workers being gathered up by corporate spies and never being heard from again. Your desk creaks under the overwhelming weight of stacks of company instruction manuals. You must memorize these books and recite by rote every month. Your industry dress code has been scaled down to charcoal gray, unisex jumpsuits sewn of the scratchiest material. Hate to inform you of this: you've be infiltrated by the Fuhrer.
"Don't pass the buck." "Hold a pow wow." "CC me on that." "Someone's gonna pay for that." "It is what it is." "Put out fires." "Tighten our belts." "Turn it around." "Give 110 percent." "Win-win situation." "Have vision." "Think outside the box." "Paradigm shift." Everybody uses these - that’s why they are called cliches. However, the Cliche speaks only in addages and worn out phrases. He’s become so immersed in the lingo of the workplace that he has sadly become nothing more than a parrot. Whatever division of the brain is responsible for inventive speech has dried up within the skull and become worthless.
You won't be able to miss it if you have the JeJune employed in your ranks. She believes everything is cheery and optomistic all of the time. Many would call her Pollyanna. Plenty would be right. Jokes make no sense to this type, so don’t bother. Her outlook is that everybody in the office is honest, nice and genuine. She wants to be everybody's pal. This can be a good thing, particularly if you are weary of eating your lunch all by yourself after being made a fool of by thesome bloke at the office, and written up for it by the Fuhrer.You have to have some pity for the JeJune, because if she continues in the workplace, such naivete certainly cannot last.
So, you've read the descriptions, admit it: these folks are your co-workers. And there are plenty of other types. In the daily rat race, it can seem effortless to pin down the idiosyncracies of those around you. So, which ones do you sit next to for 40 hours a week?
