It Takes All Kinds Well Maybe Not But All Kinds Turn Up Anyway |

| Today more than ever, with a floundering economy and
faltering small business, we all should be grateful for our
jobs. However, it can be quite difficult to uphold confident
outlook when your fellow workers are as exasperating as the
included list. Do you work with anyone like these people? Do
you regret that you recognize these character types? Pronouncements appear systematically on each available area of your cubicle reminding employees of rules. You feel like you have to look over your shoulder before each and every thing you do. Your superiors seem to be aware of your every move. A simple mistake ends in employees being scooped up by company spies and never being heard from again. Your desk creaks from the overwhelming weight of stacks of company operating manuals. These you are required to recite by rote once a month. Your corporate dress code has been reduced to colorless, one-size-fits-all jumpsuits sewn of the scratchiest material. Sad to inform you of this: you’re living under the reign of the Fuhrer. "Don't pass the buck." "Let's put our heads together." "CC me on that." "Heads will roll." "It is what it is." "Running around like a chicken with its head cut off." "Work smarter, not harder." "Act, don't react." "Win one for the Gipper." "Win-win situation." "Have vision." "Think outside the box." "Paradigm shift." Everybody uses these - that’s why they’ve become cliches. However, the Cliche never utters an original thought. He’s become so immersed in the uncreative language of the workplace that he has quite literally lost his ability to form original phrases. Whatever section of the brain is responsible for innovative speech has shriveled within the skull and become useless. You will know if you have the JeJune working among you. She feels everything is peachy and positive always. Many would call her Pollyanna. Plenty would be right. Jokes make no sense to this type, so don’t bother. Her outlook is that everyone in the office is truthful, caring and sincere. She wants to be everybody's helper. This can be a pleasant thing, particularly if you are tired of eating your lunch all by yourself after being made the company scapegoat, courtesy ofsome chap in the office, and written up for it by the Fuhrer.You have to have some pity for the JeJune, because if she remains in the workplace, such naivete certainly cannot last. So, now that you’ve read the list, admit it: these people sit right next to you. And there are plenty of other types. In the work-a-day world, it can seem easy to pin down the idiosyncracies of those around you. So, which ones do you sit next to for 40 hours a week? |
